I'd love to hear constructive suggestions as to how we get all these "fakers" into work? And those who are impacted by disability who want to work? The idea seems to be, well, they'd soon "get a job" if benefits were stopped. But, realistically, how?
It's an employers market to start with. 99% of jobs require online applications, and the joys of AI weeding out "unsuitable" candidates before you get near an interview process. And that can require several meetings, requiring tech skills if it's online, and the time, money and support to travel to interviews if it's FTF.
The days of rocking up to a place of employment in person, and charming them into trying you out are long gone. Maybe that's what people should do though, to prove their commitment to work, just start picketing potential employers and refusing to leave until they're given a job that actually pays enough to live on, plus enough to accommodate their challenges?
If the money does stop, what then? Well, you'll see the courts implode under the strain of eviction cases and GP surgeries swamped by people whose physical and mental conditions rapidly deteriorate further. You'll see massive family breakdown, and social services even further overwhelmed as children suffer neglect and malnutrition. Crime and drug dependency and alcoholism will soar, schools will become more about social care than education, and those who were just about hanging on to some sort of hope will be completely demoralised.
There is no simple solution to this problem, unless you do want to go back to the Victorian era, and are happy to see people regarded as less than humans.
We are currently seeing the biggest wealth transfer from one section of society to another, it started in Covid and is continuing. The grind of poverty drives people into survival mode, and thanks to education and the Internet, awareness of the injustices in society does make one wonder why it's OK for the rich and privileged to take advantage of the ability to generate more wealth for themselves while those trying to get by with a side hustle get hammered at every turn, with pretty much every penny they earn / acquire having to pass through their hands straight back into the economy thanks to the ever rising cost of living.
The world has changed, and is changing, at greater speed than at any other time in history thanks to technology, which is a double edged sword in so many ways. The average human, and even those with higher than average intelligence, is struggling to adapt, and we are overwhelmed by it, because infrastructure and legislation and politics isn't keeping up, in part due to geopolitics out of our control.
This is end stage capitalism, and herding the populous around like cattle due to division and othering is going to have some pretty dire consequences if extremist views are allowed to flourish.
