re: The massive number of people who are unemployable

The answer is castration.

If you are an able bodied adult that can not provide for yourself, you should not be able to procreate.

Do you know what motivates me to get out of bed at 5:30, drive in traffic, go work for 9.5 hours in a job I don’t really like and smile and say yes sir to assholes I could kick the shite out of. Hunger for myself and family because I know nobody else is going to take care of me and my family except me. Hunger is a terrific motivator. In fact, in 3 years when my youngest graduates college and goes off my payroll I’m going to retire.

i admire you. it sucks that you don’t like your job.

He’ll, half the people employed honestly shouldn’t be. I walk out of customer meetings every day and wonder how the hell some of those folks stay employed. And I’m not just talking about frontline or warehouse/production level employees. Talking about supervisors, managers, and even some owners.

Good news is that immigrants are self deporting because their gimme's were shut off. What a positive with the Government being closed. Now lets hope a plane doesn't collide of the tarmac.

Most of the DV plates I see, and they're everywhere in Tampa, are on luxury sedans and SUVs or platinum level trim trucks.

What do you think a DV tag actually means? It doesn’t mean “disabled” in the Social Security sense of being unable to work or function independently. A Disabled Veteran tag is based on VA disability compensation, which only measures service-connected injury or illness, not incapacity, or inability to work.

A lot of people mix this up. VA disability compensation is a non means-tested system. You can be 100 percent VA disabled and be a billionaire still working full-time. A high VA rating doesn’t even mean you’d qualify for Social Security disability. A vet rated at 70 percent for PTSD, for example, can still hold a job and collect VA comp at the same time.

The mix-up can be clarified by the words themselves: "VA compensation” versus “disability insurance.” VA compensation is just that. Compensation. Example: someone hits you with a car and breaks your legs. Their insurance company compensates you for those injuries. The fact that you were compensated for those injuries does not, by itself, deprive you from ever holding a job again.

Social Security Disability Insurance, on the other hand, is literally insurance. You [ideally ] pay into it through taxes, and it pays if you can’t work. One word describes restitution for harm, the other describes a safety net for incapacity. They serve different missions, and confusing them is how you end up with people thinking a DV tag means someone can’t work or is “on disability” in the Social Security sense. A DV tag just means the state confirmed a service-connected injury.

How many people on disability are actually disabled? How many soldiers get coached to steal our money by faking issues?

What percentage of these unemployable people are actually unemployable?

I have two of these people in my family, a niece and a nephew (both on my wife’s side).
Niece - Beautiful young girl. Child of a divorced couple, both remarried and intent on spoiling her. Both families very wealthy. She goofed off in college(s) and got pregnant. She is now 35 with a 12 year old. She has used the child as an excuse to not work. She has never had a paycheck and refuses to consider working. Her dad is dead; her mom is single, a bank executive, and subsidizes her daughter. She is now dreadfully fat and utterly useless.

Nephew - About a 85 IQ if I had to guess. Has always had a desire to be an intellectual. Joined the navy at some point. He had slight back injury when he joined. The navy discouraged his continuance, so he got out and took disability for his pre-existing condition. The navy has paid him disability and all kinds of college tuition for him to bumble around in philosophy courses. I don’t think he has mastered anything beyond “I think therefore I am.” Also about 35. Utterly useless as anything besides a laborer, but he won’t labor.

Both of these people are prevented from working by a lack of necessity. One supported by her family and the other by you guys. Remove the support and they would get to work.

We don’t need so much automation in trash/recycling sorting.

Automation eliminated a lot of jobs that require little to no thought and only physical activity. The answer is to figure out how to go backwards in order to move society forward, but not sure how you get the currently unemployable back into physical work. A hard day of work would also eliminate a lot of other bad activity plaguing America.
