  1. But Leo said that he was part of the party who advocated for people who get up in the morning and go to work!!

    Whats the point of working if you cant build towards bettering your life if housing, cars and childcare are beyond your means.

  2. Going by this meme I’m on the floor in the middle. Have a job but have to sign on temporarily for an indefinite amount of time.

  3. The best thing is there is no fixing this and there is not even any political will to try. We are fucked no matter what we do.

    Personally I think we should all consider packing it in and getting the social welfare because slaving away for 10 hours a day to come out with nothing is fucking mental so we may as well enjoy life while we watch the world burn around us.

  4. You’re much better off employed than unemployed.

    I am getting the feeling though we have an entirely new generation now that don’t remember the grim days of 08 and 09 let alone the utter misery of the 1980s. In that they think this is as bad as it might get..

  5. That’s pretty much anywhere in the world. Unless “unemployed” means “living out of investments/inheritance/trust fund”.

  6. Having a job, and also being homeless at the end of the tunnel, which leads to the unemployment.

    Happy trail I’m likely on.

  7. Unironically join a union.

    There are two ways for normal working people to significantly change government or company policy to make the world a fairer place, and voting isn’t one of them.

  8. I just hate being poor which is the case either way. Current salary is 20 quid more than the PUP. Only difference is now I have fuck all time to do things I actually care about and no savings to take time off.

  9. Yeah pretty much. I was happy working despite earning fuck all, it still helped me get by but after losing my job I’m back to being depressed as shit doing nothing but hopeless job searching and with mounting bills and that’s with disability assistance so I can’t imagine how hopeless it is for ablebodied people right now.
