    Dole bashing threads are allowed. In fact, they are never closed down.

    They're both things people legitimately have no choice/control over mind* - and judging people for things they have no choice/control over is one the hallmarks of bigotry.

    * and no, when there are not enough jobs to go around, the vast majority of the unemployed really do have no choice in the matter

    Even at the height of the boom, there was an unemployment rate of about 5%, and there were loads of jobs. What was their excuse?

    Ah good, I thought people were going to start taking this seriously after the last couple of posts.

    How many cans / packs of cigarettes / holidays / huge tvs are you gonna get with your dole this week?

    Nah, he's talking about the new poop allowance. You can now claim turds of sufficient size as dependents as long as you can demonstrate emotional attachment to them.

    The level of 'Full Employment' for economies is actually >0% (due to a lot of considerations, such as job-churn), and the exact rate depends on different countries and the structure of their economy - for Ireland it appears to be considered as being between 4-5% (not shown in link):
    ...
    The 20th century British economist William Beveridge stated that an unemployment rate of 3% was full employment. Other economists have provided estimates between 2% and 13%, depending on the country, time period, and their political biases.
    ...
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_employment

    I have disagreements with this measure of Full Employment, I think it should be far lower (through no fault of the unemployed though) - but with the way economies are currently run, that's the standard measure of 'full employment'.

    I'd feel bad for the couple of people trying to have a serious discussion if it wasn't for the fact that I don't.
