I kinda feel some countries care a lot about full employment. How they can afford it is beyond me though.

- kwhitefoot 5y agoIf we can afford to keep people alive surely we can arrange for them to do something useful too. Unless we intend to condemn large numbers of people to chronic poverty we have to pay more than starvation wages even to those who do nothing. It seems to me that the question to be answered is: how can we afford to not have full employment?
- ratww 5y agoIt's quite simple: they can afford it by having full employment. Full employment means lots of good things: a population that's richer per-capita and spends more, less expenses on welfare, less poverty, less crime, less billionaires, etc.
