No I'm not with you at all. The point of social welfare should not be to ensure continuity of income. That's what private unemployment insurance is for. State mandate contributions towards that if you like. But social welfare diff

Yes, that's my point... It's cheaper to eat poorly. It's (significantly) more expensive to eat well. As I said before I'm spending more than twice as much cooking from scratch. And (as I'm coeliac and intolerant of

Perhaps - as in most developed countries - the point shouldn't be whether or not the applicant 'deserves' unemployment benefits. But rather, whether they can afford to live without them.

As other commentators have pointed out - the fact that we can do something technically, at the highest levels of competence - does not mean we usually do, or can do such a thing at scale. If you look through the enormous majority of publicl

Genuinely, look at the US in the same time period. The quality of life for most people across a a range of measures is enormously worse. Hours worked, health outcomes, housing security etc. Productivity - like GDP, is enormously more releva

You're conflating productivity and wealth, and wealth and happiness. These are, you'll forgive me for saying - very American fallacies. The productivity of a country says little to nothing about it's levels of relative and ab

American drivers are extremely poor by international standards though - perhaps because of the relative ease of getting a licence, perhaps because of poor enforcement of road traffic laws. Look at the level of road fatalities [1] in the US
