Justify the notion.
- amichail 17y agoMany employees are reluctant to look for another job, especially if they have a family to support and/or the economy is not doing well. And even if they do find another job, it may turn out to be even worse than the one they left.
- ErrantX 17y agoThey dont have to work though. There are state benefits.
- AndrewDucker 17y agoNow, if benefits didn't stop after a while, and were available instantly, then you might see employment working very differently.
- bbgm 17y agoAnd they have the option of finding out if job #2 was worse than job #1. In slavery you don't have that option either.
- yan 17y ago"If someone has X and has the potential to instead choose Y, they might be unhappy because X was better than Y all along" Let's ban choice!
- byrneseyeview 17y agoWhy not ban irresponsible personal decisions, instead? Maybe we could punish them with poverty, so they'd happen less often.
- petercooper 17y agoMany men/women are reluctant to look for another partner, since they might own a home or have kids together. And even if they do find another partner, they might turn out to be worse than the one they left. Therefore, being in a relationship is, by your yardstick, "slavery."
- ErrantX 17y agoI dont think any married man would argue with that perspective! (joking)
- petercooper 17y agoAs a married man, I do appreciate the joke ;-) That said, for anyone who seriously thinks this, just remember that unless you're being locked in a cellar, you can walk out that door any time you want without being forced to go back. Servants can't.
