This has been going on for years. I lived next to a woman a few years back who had some mystery disability. It was some kind of depression/anxiety. She spend all day doing fuck all and constantly had a new car, replaced every 3 years on the taxpayer's tab. Meanwhile there was me working every hour God sent and driving an old banger that I worried might break down at any time.
Maybe she has better money management skills than you do, it's not your neighbours fault or responsibility that you drive a banger,maybe you're not working hard enough
@@SnackAttack6 I worked in mental health services in the NHS for over 3 decades and have a masters degree in psychology , Prey please enlighten us all with your knowledge and insight into mental health ....can't wait !
Why should we work? Immigrants being given our money & homes having done nothing towards it!! Young people not being given jobs in preference of foreigners so companies can be seen to be doing the 'fair' thing rather than on ability. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME!!!
i agree but if everyone didn’t work we wouldn’t have all these goods a services that we rely on but yes i do think big company’s corruptions whatever you want to call them will always look for the cheap labour and this is why Britain how’s gone down hill over the last 20 years
Why should we work? Because someone needs to pay for our food, housing, electricity, etc. If we're not working then someone else is working to support us. We should work so as not to be a parasite.
Why should you work? To have the basics and more and higher morale, better health and a purpose. Lying around all day would cause mental health issues.
The problem is that we have created a system where you are just as well off if not better off if you don’t work unless you are pretty well paid! Such a poor system, why would someone work with all the stress it causes when they are just as well off sitting at him on their arse. All the while the people who are trying hard are getting stung with high taxes to pay for it all! This was never what the system was made for it was supposed to be a safety net, not a lifestyle choice which many entitled people believe, there is no shame in not working now
Well they should pay them a proper wage to work and then they won't be on the sick or benefits. Low paid workers are basically slaves, would you work all week in a crap job and at the end you have around £20? or £1000 a year to do EVERYTHING?
@@ragedapeevo7560 Yes, why work a long, tedious 40 or more hours a week, for barely more than you'd get on benefits, when you take into account things like council tax rebate, cost of travel to work, maintaining a car if you need that for transport etc? Some people in low-paid jobs even end up with less disposable income than they would have had on benefits, especially if they can get signed off on the sick. Benefits were supposed to be a safety net, but now they're a hammock that many people just cannot climb out of.
@@dexine4723 I agree with you to a certain degree but if everybody had that attitude the UK we would be in an even worse state. There are people out there on low wages that carry on regardless, and I applaude them for carrying on regardless. People in this country really need to think a head. Who is going to look after your mother, grand mother or you when the time comes and you have to go into a care home. There will be no UK people in jobs. It will be immigrants with lower standards looking after you. Same for any other job. Do we sit back and let them take over all our jobs because the British are a bunch of softies who won't help themselves and just get on with it. Look around you its happening already.
Well I did low paid jobs, worked my way up and now I have my own business, unfortunately the politicians are in the pockets of big business who want unlimited supply of low paid workers so they can make more profits they don’t care about the country going into debt to pay for the benefits & services. It is a big problem, look at the immigration figures all so businesses can have a supply of cheap labour putting even more pressure on infrastructure and services
At the end of the day- what should we choose - work and life or sit around in stagnation and being non-existent. To work builds credit, offers opportunity because you are stable, helps build foundations for your dreams... its why so many youngsters are overweight, on their devices ranting and raging at everyone - get out there and live, and have real experiences not on your games or make believe world!
Exactly this, and especially for the working class. We have zero industry to offer working class people any real career or personal development. Why bother when the ceiling is ‘retail manager’ making £30k at most. Or you could go to university and still be underpaid by the end of it. The only skills to study that pay good are trades.

"I have mental health issues" is almost like a badge of honour now. I have literally seen people trying to one-up each other over who had the worst mental health issues. I have seen dozens of people leave where I work (17 to around 22) in tears because."I got told off because I was on my phone." "They told me to work faster." and other wtf stuff. The youth is so wrapped in cotton wool and sold the world as rainbows and all equally that they cannot hack it when they get out into the real world. No wonder they can not hold jobs down, and suicide rates are so high. If you keep pandering to their demands at school and let namby-pamby, PC/woke take over, this will only get worse. And I am not saying things were great in the past, but like the expression, we were "Made of sterner stuff."
The vastly overpopulated United Kingdom is in such a serious state of decline in so many different areas and this mass invasion of immigrants is contributing massively to the myriad of problems we as a nation are now confronted with.
@@paulkirton8945 No, they aren’t. Why bother when you can have somebody else pay for everything you have? Unless you’re referring to the role of delivery drivers and Ubers? Truth be told, we have a benefits problem; why work when you can be a parasite? The only long term benefits should be medical benefits for proven disabilities. End of story.
@@paulkirton8945lol maybe 1 in 100 of them please stop look up dole claim % for these immigrant groups sick pay claimants disability etc all massively more than us natives. And for every brown off a boat deliveroo you see there’s another 100 claiming benefits
No, they aren't. They are keeping wages down for the working class. The benefits state, and massive amounts of low-skill immigration, are why many Brits don't do certain jobs. Frankly, less than 1% of immigrants are doing jobs we actually need them to do, like doctors and nurses. And we wouldn't even need so many doctors and nurses if immigration wasn't increasing the size of the population. @@paulkirton8945
Mental health issues have been encouraged. When I was young, if I were to mention my mental health I’d have got a clip across the ear and told to get on with it!
The police are loving it,this will shortly be used against people for all kinds of reasons,if you have any documented mental health issues you have zero credibility and to claim you used it to get time off work,proves a lack of rational thought, claiming mental illness is going to bite a lot of people who believe they were being clever, very very hard...
Myself also . l suffered from acute depression and anxiety and was told to" pull myself together "and also "We all get fed up sometimes " and "What's a young man like you got to be depressed about " ? That was the attitude to mental illness in the 70's when l was young . These days there is more understanding but those that use it as an excuse to stay unemployed reflects badly on those that are genuine and suffering .
@clouddog2393 I struggle a little this time of year with dark evenings etc. Got a job hanging over me at work I just want to get done. Had a bad spell last March. My father had it as did his mother. It would be amazing to never feel anxious ever again.
@juliemaddern There is little help. I've been on tablets for years but certain things trigger me. The fear of being unemployed being the worst. Personally I prefer to fight it and climb out the pit. I think some don't want to help themselves or its a good excuse.

What I was saying before applied to entry level jobs not long term career prospects. Minimum wage isn't enough and then they bloody tax it. It took me ages to break out of that vortex of swirling shit and I don't envy anyone about to dive in.
My mental health has been affected because when I started work my retirement age was 60. It is now 67 I've been robbed of seven years of retirement ,and yes I've worked all my life.
and they also wont give you all the money at once they will give you a weekly allowance meaning you will die before you get all the money you worked your whole life for then the government will take a massive chunk of it called inheritance tax before the last little slice gets passed down to whoever you chose is too late now but you should have never of paid into a pension when new money is printed it devalues all the currency already in circulation you could have retired at 40 if you had invested into the stock market instead of your pension

you've got people sending kids under ten to reassignment surgeries and drag queens reading to kids; imagine the scale of mental health that's causing already. and that's just the mad stuff that everyone knows about. now think of the effect its having on everyone else. the lack of opportunity, the lack of money, the lack of services, pure depression this country, in every aspect and every way. and I'm starting to lose the plot. trust me, it's not fake. I'm not a bum but my mental health is spiralling out of control every single day I realise how f**ked this country is @eljay5009
Just remember there are many genuine cases of mental health issues such as Depression and Anxiety, and also the side effects from the medications that are not often discussed, but are very real. Plenty of people are struggling hugely , and doing their best, the many struggles in life in this country do not help people who do not have enough money to live on. Its easy to judge when you have enough money and are not struggling.
Genuine people I get but all the young ones a benefits can go back 5 generations of family's not working and when they go to benefit interview's it all the same Anxiety and Depression they give has the answer the minimum wages surely should be a start to a working life and Not a prospect of 50 years on benefits.
Yes but these illness are progressive effecting more people as you get older, the older you get the more chances life has chucked shit at you, causing increased accumulative stress, list of issues it causes, anxiety, depression, more responsibilities, not saying that there aren't genuine cases but the younger generation should't be getting affected by life's issues yet, Jesus if you're unable to cope with life at that age, what are you going to be like as you get older
Our country is broken. This is their way of saying "no, I'm not playing your rigged game". Instead of blaming the symptoms its time to start fixing the root cause. There is absolutely no incentive for most people to work any more.

@@ragedapeevo7560 Most people start out at the bottom and work up and out, meet new people and get opportunities. Those on benefits just spend, they produce nothing, hence crime, low morale, low self esteem, low everything really.
As someone already said in the comments, and as the gentleman already pointed out; taxes being too high on the working class. Would you rather be poor working your job; trying to save for a house or a family that will never happen. or be poor on benefits?? And have time for learning skills; and putting hours into something more meaningful?? And even then you wouldn't have to necessarily do that either. Because why would you when the results are going to be the same? sure you'll be better off working, but it's hardly a landslide victory at the moment is it? Oh and if we ever do land ourselves into work, we get to watch people that aren't even in this country, born in this country land on the beaches of Britain and get more benefits anyway, everything taken care of through the tax you generate. That's if we get the 'living' wage of £12 per hour, which would equate to just under £23,000 per year at 40 hours per week. Which would be taxed to shit. And what we got exactly to motivate us? a false sense of pride and nationalism that doesn't even exist in this country anymore, touted by the working class?? because if they are doing it, we must join in on the shitshow of course? Incentives for work have to happen. Oh and i forgot to mention the gig economy we are under; zero contracts destroying the mental health of the people.. Where do i sign up? (yes that's sarcasm) Yes we want a better life; and no working hard is not enough in 2023 to secure anything worth a damn, it's not enough to just work hard.. it never was.. because employee loyalty/company loyalty died a number of years back. Education and degree's are a dime a dozen, so much so; jobs are after experience and degree's at minimum wage? that assumes you left college/university with a worthwhile degree anyway. All compounded by companies looking to nickle and dime employee salaries, through cheap labour importation, fuelled by migrant coming over, because in 12 months time.. if they haven't been booked through the system they walk into a job regardless of their permit/work visa status. The idea of benefit slackers, being lazy is laughable, sure there are some doing it, others are just aware of the situation today, and still going into work knowing they are getting shafted, (but still slightly better off more than on benefits) while others are no doubt buying their time trying to get somewhere else doing their own thing, in a system that's failed. And that truthfully doesn't give a damn if your a native born British person.

This is the most accurate comment i've ever seen on why young people are not interested in looking for work. Most understand that they are going to be burnt out working for someone else, just to just get by and barely survive, but if thats the case of barely surviving working a 9-5, why not barely survive and spend that time trying to make something of yourself doing something that can genuinely pull you out of poverty if it works. Its not that people are lazy, its that those who can work, understand they're being f++ed, and choose not to. Either way if it works out or not, they're not going to be worse of by it. There is 0 incentive to work. literally nothing. I dont blame them. Theres hardly any quality of life difference right now between being on benefits and working, and thats not because the people on benefits are living a life of luxury, they are mostly in debt because theyre so poor and benefits dont cover the cost of living, but so are the people working. we (the working class), are skint, inflation is rampant, much higher then they say it is, high energy bills, high transport prices, high rents, high taxes, high food prices, corporate Britain is F==king the public in every way they can, and they wonder why people don't want to go to work lol. Everyone knows why people don't want to work, and its not because they're lazy, its because its not worth it!
@@dnoco Thank you! people keep pounding out this idea of laziness, you could argue the young are one step ahead; because they don't pretend to mask the problem. It's not worth it, then fuck it? While people sit and talk of 'pride' There is no pride right now, in working a job to say you'll get the same amount as those on benefits after everything is deducted, and watching the government bring people outside of this country and bathe them in benefits. 'pride' is just a coping mechanism for the fact that your getting taken advantage of, rather than see it for that fact, people would rather talk to each other, with this degree of 'elitism' or 'i am better than you'. Appreciate your comment.
I know a few people who have blagged a free car on the benefits system and they all joke about how easy it was. Also they get more money than when they were working
No wonder they are depressed. Having to work in crap mind destroying jobs for minimum wage. No chance of ever owning a house .£1500 a month rent for a bedroom full of mould. Retiring at 70. Im depressed just writing this. Paying them benefits is just taking money from those that can afford to pay tax so they can get food and make companies even richer.
Look on the bright side ! thanks to King Charlies dirty royalist Tory government awarding him a 45% pay increase this year, he is now on £52,000 PER HOUR 24/7 - 365 days a year. At the same time HIS Tory government awarded nurses a 3% pay increase ( less tax) to keep parasite multi £ billionaire topped up with even more articulated lorries jammed out with taxpayer's hard earned cash.
Pay a decent wage so that the incentive to work is there . Nobody wants to work to just exist on the bare minimum without money to pay for luxuries like holidays etc as working just to survive is only going to breed a could'nt care less , resentful workforce . Decent wages not minimal slave wages is the answer . Too many employers exploit their workers , pay pittance wages and expect long hours to be worked . They are the ones who ought to be targeted not the low waged and unemployed .
Yeah the mental health should be a maximum of one to two years and then you're just unemployed. The National Insurance and tax burden kicks in too low eg personnel allowance frozen until after nex😢election but if it had been updated for inflation it should be 17500 so it's hidden tax. Many people public or private sector have seen their real wages stagnant. Most employers don't offer anything but the most basic of pension provision so if it's a job with no career progression, or development then it's probably not worth your while. Work needs to pay more, be taxed less punitivlly and welfare needs to be less generous and time limited. You would then have the norm that you get help to support you back into work. I don't think anyone on welfare should ever be financially better off financially than someone working. In essence it's to provide the minimum for the shortest time until you're helped back on your feet. Decades on welfare regardless of circumstances should be less comfortable than work cause lots of people toil away in jobs that don't pay well yet others don't.
People working 180 hours a month if not more, and cant even afford to pay bills, let alone a 2 week holiday to Spain once a year, or even some form of savings, and they wonder why people are not that interested in working.
Yes but they are there friends and there bosses so can’t complain about them. Those disabled and elderly and on benefits can’t exactly take them to court for libel so who better to take a shot at. But yes I agree with you
One of my friend is a nhs psychologist. Been working for over 20 years. She is flooded now with young and people who “think “ they have mental health issues while in reality they don’t. The sad result is that people who are truly ill are kept waiting for a long time to get help. Her feedback.
if they think they are and they are not then that in itself is a mental health problem. Might not be the one they think they have.. but is nevertheless one.
When l was young after World War II you could work toward some day owning a house. Today owning a house is out of the question for most so that incentive to work hard has gone.
exactly. most houses start at half a million pounds now and in your day they were a pittance. You should feel lucky that you lived in an era that afforded such opportunity.
Don’t blame them one bit. Why would you want to work for decreasing low wages 50-60% of which goes on paying well off and rich peoples mortgages it’s a rotten deal. Change the way things work make it fairer give people a future worth working for and then they will be more willing.
I keep hearing we will have the same money the boomers have when we get too thier age... but not if we keep giving them every penny in rent to fund thier lavish retirement
My mum feels the same! She’s the hardest working person I’ve ever known. Even after months of debilitating treatment for stage 3-A breast cancer she went back to work nearly 7 weeks sooner than her medical team told her too. (She worked in homecare at the time driving all over West Yorkshire caring for old folk with dementia in their homes, she could do 200 miles a shift easily, I used to go in the car with her sometimes and I hated it.) Then a few years ago she slipped 2 discs in her back and she was back at work within a couple of weeks. But lately she’s had enough, she says to me “I might as well sign on, why the fuck should I keep working my arse off for such a low wage due to that dirty b*****d (Sunak and co) taking all my wage?!” And I don’t blame her. She deserves the right to sit on her arse and do nothing and get paid for it more than anyone else i can think of.
Young people (indeed all people) thrive on hope. Many young people find the current situation hopeless - they are in low paid jobs which barely sustain themselves, they cannot afford to leave home and start to thrive in their own homes, there is so much bad news all of the time which is generally dispiriting and does nothing to encourage them to strive to make a success of their lives.
Since when does the world owe anybody an easy ride? If people's ideals of adult life have been shattered, lower expectation and accept reality. Most people for most of history were on subsistence incomes. People have been sold bs that if they have a degree they can have a £1.5m house, 2 cars, 2 holidays every year, Costa everyday, takeaway / restaurant every week, as much healthcare as they need or want whenever the need or want it, and retirement at 65 on a solid middle class income that allows them to travel the world. Those days are gone, and those things were only ever attainable for a small proportion of people anyway.
Nobody i know has been sold this 'dream' lifestyle. Every young person i speak to jnderstands that they will need to work hard just to survive. What they need is hope@pyujeh6207

Yep to give them Mobility cars for next to nothing is disgusting. Genuine physical disabled and strable polsy cases if course but they are handing out 35k brand new cars to people who clearly don't need them.
They need to stop taxing low paid workers, the personal allowance should be raised to £20,000 a year minimally. Rishi sunak froze the personal allowance at 12,700 for 6 years in 2021 when he was chancellor, right in the middle of a cost of living crisis. It needs to be reversed immediately and brought up in line with the cost of living.
Fair play to the youngun's. This protestant work ethic horseshit only makes your boss richer and your place in the cemetery nearer. I think a whole load of people have just jumped off the merry go round.

Don’t tax overtime. Let overtime be ours. Then we would have more to send and everyone would want to work overtime. After I get my wage I lose 85% paying bills were is the incentive. I also have depression not everyday but a lot but still work and it’s hard. If we kept our overtime the money we would have to spend would be great.
Why is it not the case that everyone is taxed something. If I work 8 hours a week i get taxed1% 10 hours 2% and so on. Surely that would be farer than brackets which mean someone just has to stay below the threshold and pay no tax at all. Couldnt be that hard for HMRC to account for that, they can tell how much a person gets paid each month and with the computing power and advances in software we have nowadays it must be possible to have a better system. Supposedly more people now dont pay any tax than those who do, which is discraceful
Too many part time workers not paying any tax is not good. Anyone on a pension shouldn't be paying any tax at all, another disgrace, they have done their time and should enjoy retirement, at least something to look forward to@@dotmac6480

I have a lot of respect for Ben Habib but this time he is wrong. Before he can expect young people to have aspirations there first must be a future to aspire to and this is not the case for young people.

This is a government failing which must be resolved if you want young people to have "aspirations" Get it sorted and make work pay.

Taxation is so prohibitive. Lots of people would happily go to work but low wages and high taxes make it appear futile and hopeless. Trying to save just a little bit of money takes years and years before it’s actually worth anything. Welcome to the treadmill 😔
Funny how mental health stops you working but not doing everything else, i found work was a help with my problems sitting indoors made me worse. The people with real problems who cant cope with life get roped in with the fraudsters and thats a shame depression is so debilitating.
The medics say these millions of people are too mentally ill to work, but Ben Habib (whom I regard as one of our better politicians and would vote for), says it is high taxes keeping them out of work, not in most cases mental illness. Who is right? Why shouldn't young people hand over part of their wages so the government can give it to foreigners?
Im off due to a severe mental health condition which affects me every single day! Ive got years of doctors history and specialists all while going through a number of interviews and forms to get the little amount per week! So its down to healthcare professionals to work out generally who is unwell because i had interviews to go through how my illness impacts my day and im talking to someone from dwp i mean they have zero clue on mental illness so how on earth can they decide who is unwell or not!? Country is broken!! Either way immigration is our BIGGEST issue!!
Immigrants are needed in this country because there are millions of lazy doing nothing, just living from our taxes like parasites, pretending to be hill.
I know what you mean, I had MRSA a few years back and I died multiple times on the operating table, I was left with severe anxiety depression and ptsd which affects me to this day. I went for help but the mental health team would tell me we can only treat one or the other knowing that you can’t fix one condition without trying to fix them all. I had to go for assessments and was made to feel like a criminal the way they interrogate you, even though they have no clue what they are doing. For some people mental health severely impacts your day to day life. Then shortly after I was diagnosed with debilitating Ménière’s diseases , severe tinnitus and vertigo, I can’t concentrate or focus the majority of the time, and suffer with unpredictable attacks of vertigo which last 12+ hours at a time multiple days a week which leaves me stuck in bed recovering so I never recover between episode. It’s made my mental health 100x worse as it’s not even safe for me to go out by myself, and automatically triggers a panic attack followed by a vertigo attacks. This is not the life I choose, none of this is within my power to change yet most people just have little compassion or understanding. Some people have severe mental health problems and it’s not a case of get over it and get back to work, I do get the frustration of the taxpayer, as there are so many people who take advantage of the benefit system. And people who do this should be ashamed of themselves. Some of us don’t have a choice but these people do. So don’t tar us all with the same brush, we didn’t choose to live a life of suffering
Perhaps … your young people are fed up with illegal immigrants being housed and fed and they think ‘why should I pay for that when I have to pay for housing and food myself?’. Yes they need an incentive to work since they know they will work their whole life and never own a home.
Mixing Being lazy with anxiety depression and bad mental health is not the way to go about it at all Anxiety and depression can take over your life, theres not enough good mental health care out there, and often people are forced to wait years, i had bad mental health 15 years ago, you know how long i had to wait for help? 4 years on a waiting list, how do you think my mental health was waiting them 4 years? it all got worse, this country is letting people with mental health issues down big time, its no joke anxiety & depression, if it wasnt for the anti depression tablets suicides would be skyrocketing, they are already up, and guess what dead people cant work

My mother passed away from breast cancer exacerbated by the stress leaving me in a 6 year legal battle with the NHS to get part time care for my sister so I could work to survive and pay her costs as well as my own. I do whatever is necessary to make her comfortable in her final years including starving myself, living without heating year round, cold showers and so on but I know because of what I have to do I'll be lucky to live to see 50
People are not going to want to work when they are immigrants sat at home doing nothing getting everything People are like if you can't beat them join unless you like the work your doing then People will work
Well pay them a proper wage to work and then they won't be on the sick or benefits. Low paid workers are basically slaves, would you work all week in a crap job and at the end you have around £20? or £1000 a year to do EVERYTHING?
THEY IS NO WORK,im 41 and iv been looking for weeks now,iv got alot of experience and even tho iv gone and shown the job centre they are not willing to help BUT THEY IS MIGRANTS THAT HAVE HAD ELECTRIC BIKES BOUGHT FOR THEM,NEW DESIGNER CLOTHS AND THE NEWEST PHONES,I spoke to one of these migrants and he said he got all this stuff becouse he's escaped a hostile country so all the free stuff is becouse he's suffered but then he I think he realised and wouldn't talk anymore.our councils are paying for imigrants but british people are being suppressed
The only people to have not suffered real term pay cuts since 2010 are MPs, and the pointless "house of lords". This obsession with " work" is a joke, buy a house with their "work",you CAN'T.
Why not become a royal ?, and have your 750 room palace in London, or your 1,000 room castle in Windsor, plus another dozen palatial country homes and estates luxuriously heated and fully maintained by Muggins the UK taxpayer.
Ive worked 60 hours a week for many years not realising that im actually better off working less...because all you're doing is working for tax . Its really unfair !
In my uneducated opinion, i believe alot of young people haven't been educated by teachers. Instead they've been educated by trendy activists who've filled their minds with alot of nonsense and promises of utopia. When the students leave school they soon come to an awakening that life isn't easy, it's tough and sometimes you've gotta get your hands dirty. That being said it's not just education. It's the whole culture they're in, poor thing's have been saturated with the most pathetic reality TV shows. There is a glimmer of hope some of the youngsters in my family including some of my friends children. Have spoken to me about not wanting a dead-end job and intend to learn a trade.

I can’t understand this mentality- I’m registered blind, I’m a widow with three children and the youngest has a Brain Tumour but I work full time to set an example for my children and to have outside support network for my own mental health!
@@pyujeh6207equal respect mental health is as diabolical as any other condition! I think it’s in part the environment you live- I don’t want a hand out I would like more of my own money back to help though! ❤
Respect to you..sadly many dont have outside support & are caring for others on never ending waiting lists to get the help they need to move forward. The mental health system was in crisis decades ago & even worse now. This country is in a mess. We can't sort our own problems out yet waste millions helping other countries? There's been no priorities for our own vulnerable, no balance.. now it's out of control. No surprise, we all saw this coming & nobody listened.
@@Gypsygal23 I actually couldn’t agree more- we give money to India. Nothing against India or Indians but if they can afford a space program they can look after their own citizens! I so wish we did not have children going hungry in this country, or cold. The elderly doing without who paid the most! I don’t mind paying my share. I could easily have said I’m blind and I’m a widow due to the suicide of my husband! My baby girl has brain cancer I’ll claim benefits! But I want self respect more than a new tv! I want a work ethic in my home! And I want mental healthcare properly addressed in this country!
I think that going from education to being employed is tough, employers make it very tough to work, I have been in many jobs where abuse from colleagues makes it hard to work and it results in termination of employment.
Workers claim universal credit not just unemployed people. because wages are not enough to house people without topping them up so your figures are not quite rite are they ?
How many of those millions on Universal Credit and Housing Benefit, have arrived to this country illegally without having paid a penny into the system? 🤔 At a cost of £8 million a day for just the new arrivals, that's £2,920,000,000 per year! But the government doesn't seem the least concerned about THAT!!!
Mass immigration has caused wage and productivity stagnation. The young start at the bottom but they are in competition with older migrants taking their jobs in hospitality and similar.
I worked for a nationwide advice bureau for 25 years and agree that doing a Better Off calculation often resulted in people being better off not working. However, it seems the WEF/our politicians, are swamping the West with slave labour, thereby reducing wages further
Totally agree . I worked very hard in my job. I've worked my way up and I'm now on what used to be a very good wage. Yet I'm stuck paying obscene rent prices with very littlel room to actually save. The middle / working class get bent over and get no help! It's disgusting.
Covid and Furlough allowed people to stay at home for ages! WFH was accepted as normal! My niece had bad anxiety about Climate change etc. Many youngsters have complex mental health problems now! Plus there are many young people with obesity and eating disorders!
Although the recent generation are mostly snowflakes, i do kind of understand where someof them are coming from. Unless you have wealthy parents, their futures seem hopeless and meaningless. This generation are having their life opportunities choked by greedy landlords. Most of them will never own their own properties, so they are just giving up and claiming benefits.
Exactly, I know someone in York who bought a house 15 years ok for 96 k now it's valued at 400 k , which is ridiculous !!! , How have wages kept up with that kind of inflation???
iv worked in care for 5 years i get minimum wage, my sister is on full universal credit and PIP i get after tax 1100 pound, my sister gets 1600 pounds a month.. tell me again it pays to work?
Don’t know what he’s on about I get £360 a month for mental health (I have severe OCD not a snowflake) before this I got £74 a week. Even a part time job would make me better off, which I aim to do asap.
U can work and not afford your bills. Or not work and not afford your bills. Which one would you choose? I have 2 jobs, and I wouldn’t wish it on anybody.. Elitist greed got us here, they did it to themselves…
Covid and people like you using it as revenge for austerity and brexit got us here. The national debt was just as bad in 2017 as it was in 2010 when Boris Johnson declared austerity over. It was an incredibly irresponsible thing to do. Also, believing that immigration is good for the economy when most of the housing that accommodates it is subsidised. It all amounts to massive incompetence. But yes, you do your 'eat the rich' distraction shtick.
I dispair at modern youth just pampered PRATS who have never been told no or repremanded in any way and private phones should not be allowed in the work place
Sadly, the mental health services for young people have been decimated, with youngsters waiting years for help. Covid made things even worse for them. It's desperately sad.
I love the way they always come out with the good old phrase "I would love to get a job but.."....yeah, of course you would, that's why you haven't had a job for about 10 years mate 🙄
I had a neighbour who said she suffered from agoraphobia for most of her - what should have been working life. As soon as she reached jer retirement age she was away on holiday, working as a volunteer in charity shops and at the local hospital. On top of this, she's a nasty gossiping piece of work.
I hate gossips that try and destroy lives they are the downfall of our society, trust me dealt with a extremely nasty jealous one, she would put all her energy into ruining people's lives instead of improving themselves and looking after thier child
@@angelofchrist4494 Gossips can and deliberately do ruin lives. The power of the tongue is powerful indeed. It's usually done to take away attention from their own low life shortcomings.
@@Frank-bc9xi question is what can be done about it, as people usually listen to gossips, even though they make up lies or bend the truth, bet they get a sense of power from it too, and yes you are right about them trying to take the attention away from themselves
@@angelofchrist4494 I truly don't know the answer to that. Personally, and having been on the receiving end of the malice I tend to see it for what it is. They're best ignored. But hear the howls of indignation if ever the gossip is on the receiving end of their own medicine. My late brother once said, "If I've got nothing good to say about a person then I don't say anything." It works for me. As for what can be done about it. Well, as Our Lord said, "Those who live by the sword will die by the sword." So it follows that those who gossip and cause pain and distress (like the media and politicians) will suffer the same fate. Call it Karma if you want. The ones who matter in your life know who and what you are. Most importantly, they know what you are not. So any gossip who snipes away at you or others is known eventually for what they are. God bless 🙏
That’s the key, incentivising people to go to work by making income made from work go further. People are sick of working for essentially just about being able to pay to go to work and nothing else.
Young Brits are out of work because British employers do not hire them! British employers want cheaper "immigrant" workers! And this is the case all over the Western world! And this is why companies say7 that immigration even illegal is good!
Honest days wages do not apply to the current crop of politicians/civil servants, in essence anyone doing a job that is supported by the ever growing tax burdon on the British tax payer.
Its all about the passive income or 'side hustle' for this internet generations now Wouldn't surprise me if they're claiming and then getting some sort of top-up from TikTok or some other social media crap, they all want to be social media stars these days

Why should we work? Immigrants being given our money & homes having done nothing towards it!! Young people not being given jobs in preference of foreigners so companies can be seen to be doing the 'fair' thing rather than on ability.
CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME!!!
i agree but if everyone didn’t work we wouldn’t have all these goods a services that we rely on but yes i do think big company’s corruptions whatever you want to call them will always look for the cheap labour and this is why Britain how’s gone down hill over the last 20 years
Get out and work. This is not reality
Why should we work? Because someone needs to pay for our food, housing, electricity, etc. If we're not working then someone else is working to support us. We should work so as not to be a parasite.
@@davidb9976no it is reality. You go and do the work you mug.
Why should you work? To have the basics and more and higher morale, better health and a purpose. Lying around all day would cause mental health issues.
The problem is that we have created a system where you are just as well off if not better off if you don’t work unless you are pretty well paid! Such a poor system, why would someone work with all the stress it causes when they are just as well off sitting at him on their arse. All the while the people who are trying hard are getting stung with high taxes to pay for it all! This was never what the system was made for it was supposed to be a safety net, not a lifestyle choice which many entitled people believe, there is no shame in not working now
Well they should pay them a proper wage to work and then they won't be on the sick or benefits. Low paid workers are basically slaves, would you work all week in a crap job and at the end you have around £20? or £1000 a year to do EVERYTHING?
@@ragedapeevo7560 Yes, why work a long, tedious 40 or more hours a week, for barely more than you'd get on benefits, when you take into account things like council tax rebate, cost of travel to work, maintaining a car if you need that for transport etc? Some people in low-paid jobs even end up with less disposable income than they would have had on benefits, especially if they can get signed off on the sick. Benefits were supposed to be a safety net, but now they're a hammock that many people just cannot climb out of.
@@dexine4723 I agree with you to a certain degree but if everybody had that attitude the UK we would be in an even worse state. There are people out there on low wages that carry on regardless, and I applaude them for carrying on regardless. People in this country really need to think a head. Who is going to look after your mother, grand mother or you when the time comes and you have to go into a care home. There will be no UK people in jobs. It will be immigrants with lower standards looking after you. Same for any other job. Do we sit back and let them take over all our jobs because the British are a bunch of softies who won't help themselves and just get on with it. Look around you its happening already.
Well I did low paid jobs, worked my way up and now I have my own business, unfortunately the politicians are in the pockets of big business who want unlimited supply of low paid workers so they can make more profits they don’t care about the country going into debt to pay for the benefits & services. It is a big problem, look at the immigration figures all so businesses can have a supply of cheap labour putting even more pressure on infrastructure and services
At the end of the day- what should we choose - work and life or sit around in stagnation and being non-existent. To work builds credit, offers opportunity because you are stable, helps build foundations for your dreams... its why so many youngsters are overweight, on their devices ranting and raging at everyone - get out there and live, and have real experiences not on your games or make believe world!
We live in a country with no career prospects or future... this was done primarily through tory policies.
Exactly this, and especially for the working class. We have zero industry to offer working class people any real career or personal development. Why bother when the ceiling is ‘retail manager’ making £30k at most.
Or you could go to university and still be underpaid by the end of it. The only skills to study that pay good are trades.
Surely the doctors who write out these sick notes must shoulder a bit of the blame?
Doctors are given hefty" incentives" from drug companies to get people onto anti depressants, The younger the patient , the harder it is to kick the meds
Totally agree, the doctors are facilitating fraud in many cases.
Nothing to do with Tories?
Doctors cannot diagnose mental heath problems so they will just sign them off.
Yes we need stats of diagnoses/ symptoms that the younger generation is receiving notes for. Also, who they are......

It's shit I've worked since I was 16 now 36 the tax burden is making it barely worth working it's frustrating.
"I have mental health issues" is almost like a badge of honour now. I have literally seen people trying to one-up each other over who had the worst mental health issues.
I have seen dozens of people leave where I work (17 to around 22) in tears because."I got told off because I was on my phone." "They told me to work faster." and other wtf stuff. The youth is so wrapped in cotton wool and sold the world as rainbows and all equally that they cannot hack it when they get out into the real world. No wonder they can not hold jobs down, and suicide rates are so high.
If you keep pandering to their demands at school and let namby-pamby, PC/woke take over, this will only get worse. And I am not saying things were great in the past, but like the expression, we were "Made of sterner stuff."

The benefits state, and massive amounts of low-skill immigration, are why many Brits don't do certain jobs.

The police are loving it,this will shortly be used against people for all kinds of reasons,if you have any documented mental health issues you have zero credibility and to claim you used it to get time off work,proves a lack of rational thought, claiming mental illness is going to bite a lot of people who believe they were being clever, very very hard...
You were lucky ! I’d have got a kick in the jewels

I've had mental health issues most of my life. Yet I try very hard to work hard and cope with it. I'm not lazy.
Myself also . l suffered from acute depression and anxiety and was told to" pull myself together "and also "We all get fed up sometimes " and "What's a young man like you got to be depressed about " ? That was the attitude to mental illness in the 70's when l was young . These days there is more understanding but those that use it as an excuse to stay unemployed reflects badly on those that are genuine and suffering .
People that pretend make it worse for people like yourself who are genuine and genuinely need help

Every time the working class get ahead, then comes a recession and asset stripping.
My mental health has been affected because when I started work my retirement age was 60. It is now 67 I've been robbed of seven years of retirement ,and yes I've worked all my life.

Just remember there are many genuine cases of mental health issues such as Depression and Anxiety, and also the side effects from the medications that are not often discussed, but are very real. Plenty of people are struggling hugely , and doing their best, the many struggles in life in this country do not help people who do not have enough money to live on. Its easy to judge when you have enough money and are not struggling.
Genuine people I get but all the young ones a benefits can go back 5 generations of family's not working and when they go to benefit interview's it all the same Anxiety and Depression they give has the answer the minimum wages surely should be a start to a working life and Not a prospect of 50 years on benefits.

Yes but these illness are progressive effecting more people as you get older, the older you get the more chances life has chucked shit at you, causing increased accumulative stress, list of issues it causes, anxiety, depression, more responsibilities, not saying that there aren't genuine cases but the younger generation should't be getting affected by life's issues yet, Jesus if you're unable to cope with life at that age, what are you going to be like as you get older

As someone already said in the comments, and as the gentleman already pointed out; taxes being too high on the working class. Would you rather be poor working your job; trying to save for a house or a family that will never happen. or be poor on benefits?? And have time for learning skills; and putting hours into something more meaningful?? And even then you wouldn't have to necessarily do that either. Because why would you when the results are going to be the same? sure you'll be better off working, but it's hardly a landslide victory at the moment is it?
Oh and if we ever do land ourselves into work, we get to watch people that aren't even in this country, born in this country land on the beaches of Britain and get more benefits anyway, everything taken care of through the tax you generate. That's if we get the 'living' wage of £12 per hour, which would equate to just under £23,000 per year at 40 hours per week. Which would be taxed to shit.
And what we got exactly to motivate us? a false sense of pride and nationalism that doesn't even exist in this country anymore, touted by the working class?? because if they are doing it, we must join in on the shitshow of course? Incentives for work have to happen. Oh and i forgot to mention the gig economy we are under; zero contracts destroying the mental health of the people..
Where do i sign up? (yes that's sarcasm) Yes we want a better life; and no working hard is not enough in 2023 to secure anything worth a damn, it's not enough to just work hard.. it never was.. because employee loyalty/company loyalty died a number of years back.
Education and degree's are a dime a dozen, so much so; jobs are after experience and degree's at minimum wage? that assumes you left college/university with a worthwhile degree anyway.
All compounded by companies looking to nickle and dime employee salaries, through cheap labour importation, fuelled by migrant coming over, because in 12 months time.. if they haven't been booked through the system they walk into a job regardless of their permit/work visa status. The idea of benefit slackers, being lazy is laughable, sure there are some doing it, others are just aware of the situation today, and still going into work knowing they are getting shafted, (but still slightly better off more than on benefits) while others are no doubt buying their time trying to get somewhere else doing their own thing, in a system that's failed. And that truthfully doesn't give a damn if your a native born British person.
Exactly, why work just to scrape by in a welfare society where you can scrape by for no work?

This is the most accurate comment i've ever seen on why young people are not interested in looking for work. Most understand that they are going to be burnt out working for someone else, just to just get by and barely survive, but if thats the case of barely surviving working a 9-5, why not barely survive and spend that time trying to make something of yourself doing something that can genuinely pull you out of poverty if it works.
Its not that people are lazy, its that those who can work, understand they're being f++ed, and choose not to.
Either way if it works out or not, they're not going to be worse of by it. There is 0 incentive to work. literally nothing. I dont blame them.
Theres hardly any quality of life difference right now between being on benefits and working, and thats not because the people on benefits are living a life of luxury, they are mostly in debt because theyre so poor and benefits dont cover the cost of living, but so are the people working.
we (the working class), are skint, inflation is rampant, much higher then they say it is, high energy bills, high transport prices, high rents, high taxes, high food prices, corporate Britain is F==king the public in every way they can, and they wonder why people don't want to go to work lol. Everyone knows why people don't want to work, and its not because they're lazy, its because its not worth it!
@@dnoco Thank you! people keep pounding out this idea of laziness, you could argue the young are one step ahead; because they don't pretend to mask the problem. It's not worth it, then fuck it?

'pride' is just a coping mechanism for the fact that your getting taken advantage of, rather than see it for that fact, people would rather talk to each other, with this degree of 'elitism' or 'i am better than you'. Appreciate your comment.

Look on the bright side ! thanks to King Charlies dirty royalist Tory government awarding him a 45% pay increase this year, he is now on £52,000 PER HOUR 24/7 - 365 days a year. At the same time HIS Tory government awarded nurses a 3% pay increase ( less tax) to keep parasite multi £ billionaire topped up with even more articulated lorries jammed out with taxpayer's hard earned cash.
Pay a decent wage so that the incentive to work is there . Nobody wants to work to just exist on the bare minimum without money to pay for luxuries like holidays etc as working just to survive is only going to breed a could'nt care less , resentful workforce . Decent wages not minimal slave wages is the answer . Too many employers exploit their workers , pay pittance wages and expect long hours to be worked . They are the ones who ought to be targeted not the low waged and unemployed .
Iv lived by one rule my whole life if I work it’s for PROFIT
Exactly, this isn’t the medieval times people want a house a car and a 2 week abroad holiday a year, pay up or shut up.
Yeah the mental health should be a maximum of one to two years and then you're just unemployed. The National Insurance and tax burden kicks in too low eg personnel allowance frozen until after nex😢election but if it had been updated for inflation it should be 17500 so it's hidden tax. Many people public or private sector have seen their real wages stagnant. Most employers don't offer anything but the most basic of pension provision so if it's a job with no career progression, or development then it's probably not worth your while. Work needs to pay more, be taxed less punitivlly and welfare needs to be less generous and time limited. You would then have the norm that you get help to support you back into work. I don't think anyone on welfare should ever be financially better off financially than someone working. In essence it's to provide the minimum for the shortest time until you're helped back on your feet. Decades on welfare regardless of circumstances should be less comfortable than work cause lots of people toil away in jobs that don't pay well yet others don't.
People working 180 hours a month if not more, and cant even afford to pay bills, let alone a 2 week holiday to Spain once a year, or even some form of savings, and they wonder why people are not that interested in working.
Yes but they are there friends and there bosses so can’t complain about them. Those disabled and elderly and on benefits can’t exactly take them to court for libel so who better to take a shot at. But yes I agree with you
But home much money is government spending on migrants living the life of luxury free
One of my friend is a nhs psychologist. Been working for over 20 years. She is flooded now with young and people who “think “ they have mental health issues while in reality they don’t. The sad result is that people who are truly ill are kept waiting for a long time to get help.
Her feedback.
All social media needs to be banned or humanity is doomed
if they think they are and they are not then that in itself is a mental health problem. Might not be the one they think they have.. but is nevertheless one.
What's left to work for.
When l was young after World War II you could work toward some day owning a house. Today owning a house is out of the question for most so that incentive to work hard has gone.
exactly. most houses start at half a million pounds now and in your day they were a pittance. You should feel lucky that you lived in an era that afforded such opportunity.
Going to work is actually better for mental health than sitting around at home on social media
Absolutely
Not when you cannot afford to live.
Depends how old you're.
@@spike178I was a mental health professional for over 30 years, Inactivity benefits no one of any age , but i'd say especially young people
Depends on the job.
Don’t blame them one bit.
Why would you want to work for decreasing low wages 50-60% of which goes on paying well off and rich peoples mortgages it’s a rotten deal.
Change the way things work make it fairer give people a future worth working for and then they will be more willing.
I keep hearing we will have the same money the boomers have when we get too thier age... but not if we keep giving them every penny in rent to fund thier lavish retirement

My mum feels the same! She’s the hardest working person I’ve ever known. Even after months of debilitating treatment for stage 3-A breast cancer she went back to work nearly 7 weeks sooner than her medical team told her too. (She worked in homecare at the time driving all over West Yorkshire caring for old folk with dementia in their homes, she could do 200 miles a shift easily, I used to go in the car with her sometimes and I hated it.) Then a few years ago she slipped 2 discs in her back and she was back at work within a couple of weeks. But lately she’s had enough, she says to me “I might as well sign on, why the fuck should I keep working my arse off for such a low wage due to that dirty b*****d (Sunak and co) taking all my wage?!” And I don’t blame her. She deserves the right to sit on her arse and do nothing and get paid for it more than anyone else i can think of.
Young people (indeed all people) thrive on hope. Many young people find the current situation hopeless - they are in low paid jobs which barely sustain themselves, they cannot afford to leave home and start to thrive in their own homes, there is so much bad news all of the time which is generally dispiriting and does nothing to encourage them to strive to make a success of their lives.
Since when does the world owe anybody an easy ride? If people's ideals of adult life have been shattered, lower expectation and accept reality. Most people for most of history were on subsistence incomes. People have been sold bs that if they have a degree they can have a £1.5m house, 2 cars, 2 holidays every year, Costa everyday, takeaway / restaurant every week, as much healthcare as they need or want whenever the need or want it, and retirement at 65 on a solid middle class income that allows them to travel the world. Those days are gone, and those things were only ever attainable for a small proportion of people anyway.
Nobody i know has been sold this 'dream' lifestyle. Every young person i speak to jnderstands that they will need to work hard just to survive. What they need is hope@pyujeh6207
This is a trend just like 80's when young ones had a child to get a council house mental health is a new trend.
It's a good job they did have a child. I only wish all indigenous young women would stay at home having children, there would be less excuse for the government to flood us with the third world.

People on welfare isn’t a life , they live less than contrary to popular belief.

Personally the way employers treat their staffs could be a reason for some people poor mental health.
Yep to give them Mobility cars for next to nothing is disgusting. Genuine physical disabled and strable polsy cases if course but they are handing out 35k brand new cars to people who clearly don't need them.
They need to stop taxing low paid workers, the personal allowance should be raised to £20,000 a year minimally. Rishi sunak froze the personal allowance at 12,700 for 6 years in 2021 when he was chancellor, right in the middle of a cost of living crisis. It needs to be reversed immediately and brought up in line with the cost of living.
She needs to let him finish his sentence and stop shouting over him
Fair play to the youngun's. This protestant work ethic horseshit only makes your boss richer and your place in the cemetery nearer. I think a whole load of people have just jumped off the merry go round.
Try getting help to recover from a mental health issue is none existent I’m left to just rot there’s no care in the care system were pushed to the limits to eventually kill our selfs so we are not a problem anymore this country is shameful
Don’t tax overtime. Let overtime be ours. Then we would have more to send and everyone would want to work overtime. After I get my wage I lose 85% paying bills were is the incentive. I also have depression not everyday but a lot but still work and it’s hard. If we kept our overtime the money we would have to spend would be great.
Why is it not the case that everyone is taxed something. If I work 8 hours a week i get taxed1% 10 hours 2% and so on. Surely that would be farer than brackets which mean someone just has to stay below the threshold and pay no tax at all. Couldnt be that hard for HMRC to account for that, they can tell how much a person gets paid each month and with the computing power and advances in software we have nowadays it must be possible to have a better system.
Supposedly more people now dont pay any tax than those who do, which is discraceful
How about don’t tax at all.

I have a lot of respect for Ben Habib but this time he is wrong. Before he can expect young people to have aspirations there first must be a future to aspire to and this is not the case for young people. Within several years of work I was able to purchase a fairly central city flat in my early 20's. You can not do that today. This is a government failing which must be resolved if you want young people to have "aspirations" Get it sorted and make work pay.

Absolute rubbish. Mortgages always been three to three and half x salary. Start off as I did in studio flat in grotty area of Manchester.

Saved up for years for deposit and then mortgage for the rest which has ALWAYS been 3 times salary at least. So you start at bottom of rung in housing and in work then gain experience skills and qualifications. Problem is your snowflake generation dont have same work ethic. Want everything immediately.

Taxation is so prohibitive. Lots of people would happily go to work but low wages and high taxes make it appear futile and hopeless. Trying to save just a little bit of money takes years and years before it’s actually worth anything.

Funny how mental health stops you working but not doing everything else, i found work was a help with my problems sitting indoors made me worse. The people with real problems who cant cope with life get roped in with the fraudsters and thats a shame depression is so debilitating.
The problem is a mixture of factors but mostly we live in an absolutely fucking awful country now. It takes a toll. And the guy talking is delusional.
The medics say these millions of people are too mentally ill to work, but Ben Habib (whom I regard as one of our better politicians and would vote for), says it is high taxes keeping them out of work, not in most cases mental illness. Who is right? Why shouldn't young people hand over part of their wages so the government can give it to foreigners?
What about the huge number of vaccine injuries? Ed Dowd has published the data.
Im off due to a severe mental health condition which affects me every single day! Ive got years of doctors history and specialists all while going through a number of interviews and forms to get the little amount per week! So its down to healthcare professionals to work out generally who is unwell because i had interviews to go through how my illness impacts my day and im talking to someone from dwp i mean they have zero clue on mental illness so how on earth can they decide who is unwell or not!? Country is broken!! Either way immigration is our BIGGEST issue!!
We’ll said
Immigrants are needed in this country because there are millions of lazy doing nothing, just living from our taxes like parasites, pretending to be hill.
I know what you mean, I had MRSA a few years back and I died multiple times on the operating table, I was left with severe anxiety depression and ptsd which affects me to this day. I went for help but the mental health team would tell me we can only treat one or the other knowing that you can’t fix one condition without trying to fix them all. I had to go for assessments and was made to feel like a criminal the way they interrogate you, even though they have no clue what they are doing. For some people mental health severely impacts your day to day life.
Then shortly after I was diagnosed with debilitating Ménière’s diseases , severe tinnitus and vertigo, I can’t concentrate or focus the majority of the time, and suffer with unpredictable attacks of vertigo which last 12+ hours at a time multiple days a week which leaves me stuck in bed recovering so I never recover between episode. It’s made my mental health 100x worse as it’s not even safe for me to go out by myself, and automatically triggers a panic attack followed by a vertigo attacks. This is not the life I choose, none of this is within my power to change yet most people just have little compassion or understanding.
Some people have severe mental health problems and it’s not a case of get over it and get back to work,
I do get the frustration of the taxpayer, as there are so many people who take advantage of the benefit system. And people who do this should be ashamed of themselves. Some of us don’t have a choice but these people do.
So don’t tar us all with the same brush, we didn’t choose to live a life of suffering
Perhaps … your young people are fed up with illegal immigrants being housed and fed and they think ‘why should I pay for that when I have to pay for housing and food myself?’. Yes they need an incentive to work since they know they will work their whole life and never own a home.
Mixing Being lazy with anxiety depression and bad mental health is not the way to go about it at all Anxiety and depression can take over your life, theres not enough good mental health care out there, and often people are forced to wait years, i had bad mental health 15 years ago, you know how long i had to wait for help? 4 years on a waiting list, how do you think my mental health was waiting them 4 years? it all got worse, this country is letting people with mental health issues down big time, its no joke anxiety & depression, if it wasnt for the anti depression tablets suicides would be skyrocketing, they are already up, and guess what dead people cant work

So it follows that those who gossip and cause pain and distress (like the media and politicians) will suffer the same fate. Call it Karma if you want. The ones who matter in your life know who and what you are. Most importantly, they know what you are not. So any gossip who snipes away at you or others is known eventually for what they are.

That’s the key, incentivising people to go to work by making income made from work go further. People are sick of working for essentially just about being able to pay to go to work and nothing else.
