re: Tell me why I should feel sorry for long term unemployed who don't want to move?

You don't have to feel sorry for them, but they may have family obligations that means taking care of or looking after sick or elderly family members. They may have children who have special needs who would be disrupted if they move. They may lack the money to move. It can take a few thousands dollars to rent and pack up a U-Haul and take your family and take care of the various expenses to move.
Some people may have obligations to their church and feel a calling from the Lord to stay in their community. Some may be divorced and do not want to move away from their children and not have the frequent visits that are important.

With 100k, they can move too.

About the only valid point without a clear answer.

Well they're not unemployed due to lack of job opportunities then. They have other obligations. Which is fine. But don't complain about lack of wages.

Many make the sacrifice to be separated from their families while they work. You don't have to move your family.

Great. Church community can help out then.

I agree that it sucks. But when it comes down to it some have made this sacrifice so they can better support their families while others sit on their arse complaining.

Wow, a political post of yours that I mostly agree with.

How does being unemployed, without income, help meet those obligations?

And some would seek the Lord in finding a new way to make a living. Some times you have to take a job that pays money and bills instead of waiting for the job you want comes up. The Lord said to do good work.

So they can't take care of themselves, yet have to stay somewhere so they can take care of someone else? What are you smoking?

"Disrupt?" If you can't make the decision to better the lives of your family, you're a shitty parent. I don't care how "special" the needs are, with the exception of needing to stay near a particular doctor/hospital for medical reasons. What percentage of the "unwilling to move" crowd do you think that covers?

Sometimes you have to sell your shite to afford the move. Again, if you can't make the tough decisions, you deserve what you get.

Again, two decisions that lie with the individual. Neither absolve them of their own responsibility. Yet, you come along to say it's not their fault... always.

Good Lord, if you keep going you may think of enough reasons for everyone to give a crap. Life is tough. This is the country where you do tough things to make it work. Or at least it used to be. Now we are a bunch of excuse filled sissies. Thanks for your excuses.

While I certainly appreciate callings and faith, I highly doubt God will call you to stay in an area and rely on the government to get by.

Feel free to start a foundation to support people with these excuses.
