Hypothetically, imagine a society that required welfare claimants to accept any job they were offered. If any would not work, neither should he eat.
Should such a society allow shitty/exploitative/dangerous jobs to exist, and force welfare claimants to work them?
Or should there only be an obligation to take a job if it provides a certain minimum level of safety, dignity and salary?
