@mogwai_poet I... dunno. There are a *lot* of assumptions the writer of that article is making. That statement itself is making a pretty hefty assumption.

Policy makers are looking at this as a cheaper alternative to Welfare. Capitalism/Democracy already punishes and exploits people like this with programs like "Welfare to work" that offload menial/minimum wage jobs to people on welfare.

It's a mostly positive article but... a lot of conclusions and assumptions about wealth/power.
