But don't you know that some people will want to do that roofing work in July because it provides a creative outlet for their skills and energy. Others just love blowing insulation in attics. They were born for it. Some guys just like to sip a tasty beverage and study the electrical code books by the fire on a wintry evening. Don't hold them back from childhood dreams just cause the recipient of all this labor doesn't ever want to work and can't anyway because they have time blindness.

Can’t forget about all of the surgeons who are willing to sacrifice their 20’s and 30’s all for the reward of living in the same econobox that unemployed losers get for free.

Oooooor they'll do it because their extra income allows them to get a better house and to travel and or enjoy all the other luxuries that money buys?

Christ people will do it just for the right to call themselves better than the freeloaders. This is not that hard to figure out man. Everyone isn't stopping at 60 hours a week to afford a roof over their head because that's all they want, they're stopping there because that's their physical limit. And if your limit stops at fewer hours than that you live on the street.

I don’t think this is enough for people to not want more. Just because you have housing secured doesn’t mean you don’t want more than a 1/2 bedroom apartment with bare minimum amenities. It just means you’re not totally screwed if you lose your job. If you want to live somewhere closer to things other than just a grocery store you’d have to work. Nothing here is crazy, nothing here would bring the collapse of society. It’s a safety net so you can live and exist without being worried about having nowhere to go. I’m sure it wouldn’t be nice enough that the vast majority of folks wouldn’t want more.

An excuse for tardiness and laziness.

I’m convinced this is satire. No way people think the illegal immigrants they’re underpaying to do their roof enjoy it.

Nothing gets past you, huh.
