I think this speaks more to a lack of a social safety net that actually works.
A better social safety net would ensure that everyone had:
* a home (near their family unit's job(s))
* a job suitable to talent/skills
* education towards suitable jobs if out of work
* good healthcare
* good child/retired family care
* a stable, inclusive, welcoming community
- neilv 7y agoThis is a good list. I'd change "talent/skills" to "skills/aspirations", because we believe too much in talent (whether for being discouraged when all it really needs is work, or for misplaced belief in our own innate merit).
- mjevans 7y agoI'd maybe consider aptitudes and desires, it got a little muddled when I was trying to fit it in to a bullet-point list short enough to not irk mobile users. The lack of white-listed HTML / similar entities in formatting is a rather limiting factor for clearly conveying information. Ideally some combination of testing / recommending potential raw talent, desired areas of work/interaction, and trainable job fields could be considered and find a good fit where someone could form a positive component of a larger and vibrant community. Also, ideally, automation owned by the masses (we the people, via the government) could handle the tedious and annoying tasks.
