    Really sounds like you should be focusing on having legislated 3 months salary severance like we do instead of thinking about communist revolutions that have zero chance to succeed in the short and medium term (sorry if you don’t think about that, but feels like two thirds of Lemmy do).

    Note that we do have a 3 month probationary period where you can be fired for any reason without severance to ensure employers are not afraid to hire people and often the first employment contract is only for a year so the employer has the option to let you go after a year without severance. An extension has to be indefinite though, so it is like an extended probation.

    Of course, health insurance is paid by the state while you are involuntarily unemployed and you get unemployment benefits for a limited time after being fired (though that may only be after 3 months when the severance runs out, I am not quite sure how exactly that works).

      The problem is, is that our legislation system was built with the intention of stability and to make any changes, all sides would have to somewhat agree. At some point it unfortunately has drifted off course and with everyone polarized other over whose side is right or wrong, it became a game of endless tic-tac-toe of keeping the other side from “winning”
