By nature, we humans are very lazy.
If I could sit all day and do what I liked instead of writing code, I'd do that instead.
Sure, I love to write code. But I want to write the code that gives the joy. Not the code that some client wants me to write.
That being said, ending the unemployment benefits is the right move.It's not sustainable. I worry greatly that we're entering a time when the government is going to become our dad/mom and we don't have to work.
But then, where will the money come from??? We can only tax the rich so much.

- 8fGTBjZxBcHq 5y agoWait you are concerned that the government is becoming too much like a parent figure but you also think the correct role of the government is to tell people to do their homework?
- vharuck 5y agoAs evidence against the idea that people left to their own devices will not work to the benefit of society, I present all progress in human history. At no point was there something other than a human leading governments or industries. The real question is, how many of these driven people do we actually need, and what are the proper ways to let work with the other people.
