    In Canada you can work while collecting disability benefits as long as it doesn't exceed $200 a month. Anything over the $200 is deducted dollar for dollar. This encourages people to work and contribute what they can ... even if it is only a few hours a month it makes them feel useful. Cutting benefits for 16 hours a week is only making people not want to work and just stay on benefits.

    When I left Merthyr the begining of1965, never to return the major employers in the town were. Hoovers, Teddington Aircraft Controls, Kayser Bondor, Triang, Toys, Thorn Electric,
    Guest Keen. Reploy, and possibly others I've forgotten. They're all long gone, and nothing much has replaced them. that's what happened to Merthyr.
    There was a brief glimpse of the bottom of 1st Avenue, Galon Uchaf, including the house I grew up in, 1942 to 1951. Brought back a few memories of a different Merthyr before employment

    Everyone there is supposedly desperate for work, but not a single qualification between most of them. There is a reason why people go to school, college and uni, but it's lost on many of them here. They only realise the importance when it's too late, but even then you could always do night classes, online courses or part-time studies.

      credentialism isn't all that it's made out to be, universities are sess pools of marxist indoctrination and handing out worthless degrees for £40,000 that will never get people a decent job.

    Everyone has an addiction, if life is good it will be gaming, fitnesses or work. If you are skint and down it will be gambling, or drugs alcohol to dumb down your problems. These addictions bring more problems, so you do more to drown them out. People like this need real mental health care to change their life around, instead of people with things together looking down at them.
