Amazon has jobs for everyone—as long as they don’t have to pay damages if obese employees collapse as they run between pallets. ;-)

What happens if you’re a loser who can’t get to work on time? Or you refuse to do a task, you’re assigned or a dopehead or a fall down drunk. What if you just suck at your job?

A government that does this will be like part of your family. Perhaps we should rename FedGov. My suggestion? Big Brother.

Democrats have always supported full employment.

How positively SOVIET of them. Makes sense that an old communist douchebag like bernie would push this kind of make work wet dream.

What old bernie DIDN’T mention was where exactly would the money come from to finance his idea of a socialist worker’s paradise.

I bet it would involve taxing the livimg shit out of an ever shrinking pool of taxpayers who actually earn a living.

Democrats are NOT onboard with Universal Employment.

At least half of them like it just fine there on
the couch, where they are.

Simple - it appears then that you’re fully qualified to work at the DMV - or a public university.

Oh, a “guaranteed job”. That was a centerpiece of the USSR. And guess what, it can turn out to be wherever and whatever the government says.

There was an old dark humor joke in the old Soviet Union :

“They Pretend To Pay Us AND We Pretend To Work” (commenting about ‘make work’ communist style, and the resulting communist style economy where people had lots of rubles but not much worthwhile to spend them on.

I suggest A Pilot Program staring with REDISTRIBUTING all of Bernie’s (and his family and friends/associates) fortunes/holdings/property/salaries — to be used to fund all these people he wants ‘make work’ employed.

Note — that he and liberals/leftists/commies like him are NOT blocked by law from doing this already privately, but that they prefer to foist their delusions upon others (and maintain their own personal wealth AND get to run other peoples lives ).

In the USSR that was called being “a parasite” and had serious consequences. A guaranteed job sure is fun!

If you’re sincere in your adoption of and adherence to the teachings of Marx and Lenin, this is a no-brainer.

Example: 200 people outside your place of business, you give them all 100 dollars to shop in your store, they shop in your store and they give you your money back, perfect!

I think that before rolling this out to the people of the USA, we should try a pilot program.

Put up new signs in all the federal parks, asking people to feed the animals. We could call it the universal feeding program. After all, it’s kind, since the animals wouldn’t have to struggle to feed themselves any more.
