@dicentra33 No doubt, people who follow it will do better than otherwise. But I'm sick of policy that boils down to "just be exceptional!" -
@chaosprime It's also not policy, it's advice. Policies are for governments; advice is for individuals and communities. -
@dicentra33 When the ideological thrust is that "gubmint" asst should be dismantled because everybody should just work hard, that's policy. -
@chaosprime I'd prefer to help ppl off assistance so that it shrinks back from lack of demand. But gubmint's instinct is to grow, not shrink -
@dicentra33 And that's why it's more important to rail against the things that actually *are* helping people than to help them, then? -
@chaosprime My contention is that gubmint welfare does more harm than good because of dependence among the fit. -
@dicentra33 This idea that there's a nontrivial amt of welfare abuse going on totally came from somewhere not Reaganoid race-baiting, right? -
@chaosprime I personally know ppl who are capable of working but don't because they're parasitic pigs. I also know ppl who need help. - 3 more replies
