Cool. Now stfu and advocate for the removal of mutual obligations. Anything less than that and you’re still a scab and class traitor. This issue is actually surprisingly simple, no mutual obligations = no tax payer money going to welfare frauds (JSP system). Then we can start discussing how to reform employment support and what that would look like. But any system that’s underpinned by mutual obligations will be deeply flawed.

Take their current profits and imagine they were going to government income instead.

Doesn’t matter if it works better or worse (who gets to determine this and by what measure?), it’s a matter of who benefits from ownership.

Ok can I just state the obvious here that these roles require no tertiary qualifications. These people are in no way qualified to be administering any type of resilience course. They’re not qualified to be working with these populations, period. Letting unqualified people fiddle around inside people’s heads is no different than letting a regular person on the street perform surgery, it’s incredibly harmful.

Lol realestate agents are like the mercenary class now

One of these things is not like the others though…

I love that generational inequality can be measured in this way. It would be great to see how different policy changes in the last 50 - 60 years correlate across generation groups.
