Well Duh !
Nothing guarantees poverty like dependence on the government.
I'll be expecting my check for conducting this study.
It buys votes. Until it doesn’t.
There’s another study using time-lapsed photography proving bears sh*t in the woods.
Exactly
Well you don’t really need a study to confirm this - if you can get paid not to work, why do it?
I don’t disagree with a safety net to catch people who fall down on their luck - you don’t want people out in the streets if they lose their job in the time it takes for them to find another one, but it should not be structured to be a way of life for anyone who is able-bodied.
So dependence and economic slavery is bad now??
Are they going to study wether or not water really is wet??
To be of use
By Marge Piercy
The people I love the best
jump into work head first
without dallying in the shallows
and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight.
They seem to become natives of that element,
the black sleek heads of seals
bouncing like half-submerged balls.
I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart,
who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience,
who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward,
who do what has to be done, again and again.
I want to be with people who submerge
in the task, who go into the fields to harvest
and work in a row and pass the bags along,
who are not parlor generals and field deserters
but move in a common rhythm
when the food must come in or the fire be put out.
The work of the world is common as mud.
Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.
Greek amphoras for wine or oil,
Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums
but you know they were made to be used.
The pitcher cries for water to carry
and a person for work that is real.
(Democrats ruin honest work for employers and employees, alike! Vote accordingly.)
No kidding.....
I want a study into how far black criminals went in school.
I contend that they leave at a very early age & it sets them back permanently.
“New Study Confirms That The Welfare State Discourages Work”
They should have come to me. I could have told them the outcome of the proposed study for free.
Gosh. Next they’ll b telling us putting out fires in an ammunition dump is a dangerous occupation.
FDR was horrified at the idea of paying idle people when unemployment was at 25% during the Depression; he created a jobs program because he knew the alternative was Bolshevism and anarchy, but he wouldn’t pay people to sit idle.
Captain Obvious must be working overtime over there!!

I’ll be expecting my check for conducting this study.”
You are way behind the curve, Newspeak has changed the names so now the sun rises in Seattle.
