$300 a week is not much of a pension. Works out to about $7.50 an hour wage. When you consider that millions of families are having to live on that because there is no work to be had, ya cant be so harsh. Most of the people that are on unemployment at this time are so beat down that they could not afford to move even if they could find work somewhere else. Torches and pitchforks are appropriate.

Deflation will fix that.

My stepson’s apartment complex last month sent him a notification that if he renews his lease for a year his monthly rent will be $800. It is currently $1,100.

He signed.

I completely understand that, but I also personally know multiple people who do nothing all day and have turned down jobs because they get paid to be on “vacation”. It’s really unfortunate that some people take advantage of the system because they don’t “feel like” getting a job.

Not sure what the solution is, but it is infuriating to see people do that.
