I know some very stupid people. Like 80 IQ or something worse, who are very employable and very employed, that even support families.

Regarding too lazy, yeah true, some people are too lazy to be employable. Though that would change right quick if their options were to go hungry or lift their fucking finger.


Anyways, even if most people are not "truly" unemployable, some still are, so my above points would not fully address your concerns. To your concerns, which are legitimate, (some people legitimately cannot take care of themselves) those people do need to be taken care of. The question then is does it work best when government does it or when families and friends and communities do it? I had a great post how we can figure this out a few days ago that you might have seen.
