I am well aware of how hard we had it growing up, and how much effort it took us to get anything put aside. I remember two hours travel for an extra hour of work at my second job, 3am finishes and 6am starts, and still work weekends, public holidays and up to 26 hours in a row.
I am also unfortunately well aware this is becoming the norm, and at least we had a few years where this got you a bit ahead. Its now not enough for many and I don’t know how then next generation will manage.
I believe a person/family should be allowed up to 3
live in
rent
bach.
Anything above that gets taxed in every way we can so you can and do make a profit, but its considered similar to other financial investments including risk.
Not sure how the loopholes would work if they own part with an ex, or kids, or single to relationship, but the general idea.
No, i am expecting you to be at your place of agreed work that you were well aware of, at a time we agreed as stipulated in your agreement that you were open to reject if it was not suitable for you.
Its not the employers job to tell you where to live, how to get to work, or what to spend you time doing outside of work hours. Don’t like the commute - pick a different job or move, you’re an adult who can make these decisions.
Better yet, start a business where you pay your employees this way.
I would argue yours is strawman - you are arguing against a city with quality public transportation which is not always the case and wasn’t the original arguement.
I think the biggest point the other poster is arguing is that personal choice comes into play. It’s not the employers job to tell you how to get to work, nor is it their responsibility if you want to take a job a distance from your house - its their job to find the best candidate who is willing to do the job offered.
You also argue against the argument that people won’t move house every time they change job. It sounds extreme, but it is always an option for the employee and a part of free choice.
Correct - but the unemployment rate doesn’t take that into account.
I lie, I gave a few bad examples. Those of working age but not looking (like the SAHP) are out of workforce and not included in unemployment rate. But seasonal, grads looking for the right job and those transferring between jobs are still unemployed and form that 3% i mentioned. The other type (structural unemployment) that relates to not having the skills that employers search for we should have as close to 0% as possible and that part is a concern.
Uh… people and the economy??? To copy paste my other comment
I’ll happy tell a new grad they don’t have to work full time in a minimum wage job while they work through the process of acquiring their first post-grad role, or the student to enjoy their gap year traveling the country. Happily tell the seasonal worker who did 15 hour days over summer they made enough to have 6 months off. The stay at home parent that they are doing a good thing even though they aren’t getting paid for it, or the person transferring between jobs that they don’t have to start the day after resigning from their other role.
Happy to.

Do you want to tell them all to get back into paid employment right now to keep unemployment at 0%?
