Many of us take drug tests for employment so taking one for what is essentially free money should not be a problem.

People working, making money leads to more spending and that in turn leads to a more robust economy and a better life for all of us.

Yeah I agree. I was playing devils advocate earlier and was struggling to defend the other side. It seems like a step in the right direction.

You’re better off being a total worthless piece of shit and get your ass fired rather than be a good, honest and hard working employee who becomes sick and has no control over it. New York.

Yep. Plus many unemployed get under the table jobs and make bank.

I had a theory on this that would never work but could solve a lot of issues with unemployment

Have a building where the unemployed have to report to, and there they will sit on a computer and look for jobs. That will make sure they will get re hired and makes sure they aren’t working another job.

At the same time if a taxpayer comes in who needs basic help such as an elder needs her mow lawned, she could pick someone in tr building to go down and do the job. She’s the boss after all as a taxpayer.

This way a lot less people will be on it, and they will actually get paid for work.

Make them clean up parks or something.
