You can't deny that social welfare programs feed a self enforcing cycle of apathy in some segments of the population that contribute to the ability to remain lazy while still surviving. You are 100% correct that I should have phrased it better to not generalize all poor people, only a specific subgroup. I understand that some people bust their asses to scrap by and it wasn't my intention to demonize them or throw them under the bus.
- Bjartr 10y agoDoes anyone have metrics on what portion of the welfare receiving population falls into the "apathetic" segment vs the "bust their asses" segment? Seems to me that what side of this issue people end up on comes down to which segment they believe is the majority, and that belief seems to almost never involve critical thinking.
