> Like, literally everyone would be better off if the TSA paid people to just stay home and do absolutely nothing at all. We would also all be better off if we lived in a socialist utopia where everyone helps each other, free housing, free food, unlimited transportation, no money, no jobs, no rich employers, no corporations, no war, famine, etc. But all of that is as likely to happen as an American population giving poor people money to live just because there aren't any jobs that will hire them where they live with their qualifications. So instead we do the hack of a welfare program disguised as a valuable civic service and eat the larger cost to the economy. Every politician knows it's a welfare program, and they love it, because they don't have to call it one.
