Those 5 million people aren't dying, and they aren't taking all those open jobs either, so apparently it's not that hard to survive on out-of-work benefits.

- bostik 4y agoActually, they are. We have working people in the UK in the situation where they would be delighted to have to choose between "heat" and "eat". Because now they are forgoing both. FFS, children are stealing toilet rolls from their schools because their families can't afford to buy them.
- mmarq 4y agoThe employment rate in the UK is 76%, in Germany it is 77%, 68% in France. I don’t see work laziness in the data, at best I see employers wanting to hire full time workers for £1800 a month when renting a half-decent flat cost £1500 and transport cost £2-300 a month. I’m sure there aren’t 5mil vacancies for fully remote jobs that pay £100K.
