How many people were too sick to work so had to go on benefits?
What other risk factors are there?
It’s a study that would be difficult to make .
But I definitely agree that poverty is bad for health.
This is jobseeker. If there are people on it who can’t work that’s still a failing of the welfare system, albeit a different one.
oh I agree
not just a failure of government services but of the job market/economy
I think australians thinking is heading towards american levels of individualism. A lot australians have the same hatred towards the poor as americans do, and hating taxation aswell
What if they actually want the poor to die? What if this is a silent war of attrition? Capitalist eugenics… The new human’s worth is only measured by the wealth they accumulate and/or how well they play the compliance game…
Indeed. What if they actually want the poor to die? What if all our systems were silent systems of slow eugenics?
Certainly looks that way.
it is a travesty but nearly everything we do is wrong headed, so no big surprises.
