    So the big financial snake oil salesment poink the economy being reliant on x% of unemployment. They also mandate that these people who MUST be on the dole for the good of the land be denigrated and starved.

    I’m getting real sick of this omelas crap.

    And don’t even get me started on disability payments…

      Disability payments being below the poverty line… It shouldn’t be happening. And to make it even worse a lot of people on Jobseeker (even lower) should actually be on the disability payments but won’t get approved. This country treats its most vulnerable people like shit.

    Some experts argue the cost-of-living crisis and inflation is actually hitting those on low incomes harder than those on higher incomes.

    I’m sorry, but what university degree do you need to be a bloody expert on this?! Like yeah no shit the crisis where the cost of everything has been skyrocketing, is affecting poor people the most.
