If you'll allow a quick gripe, at the social scale, we hold an inconsistent view of work, morals, and economics.
1. Does the economic system allow for full employment.
2. If not, then it stands to reason that among the unemployed, a portion is temporarily unemployed and a portion is chronically unemployed.
3. Is it moral to blame the chronically unemployed for their unemployment if fill employment is unattainable?
4. If full employment is unattainable, and it's immoral to blame the chronically unemployed, then what purpose do unemployment punishments serve? Why make a system where someone is guaranteed to lose, and then punish the loser?
