Why should I go back to work? I'm making $1000 a week in unemployment benefits with the $600 a week federal coronavirus benefit bonus. That's more money than I made working.

You people can work. I'm not going to. You should be doing all you can to get laid off right now unless you make more than 50k.

You honestly shouldn't. Ride this bitch out, do something entrepreneurial with your time that you can get paid cash or crypto under the table to do.
We all know this ship is sinking, if you can loot some furniture off the deck before you pile into the lifeboat all the better. I'd rather the money go to your NEET ass anyways.
Just do something productive with your time and don't let your mind/soul decay. Unproductive comfort will kill you inside.

You shouldn't. None of us should. And even companies are coming around and saying we shouldn't. In a hilarious turn of events it seems we have a growing traction towards a NEET economy now where people spend more because they have a steady and easy supply of free money and companies thrive because of all the free money going into their pockets.

I hope this becomes a movement or a real thing, absolutely no one but wagies are complaining (who btw should see pay raises under this system to incentivize working), and many jobs can be automated to fill the gaps. We can be like Rome where every citizen got guaranteed pay and a home without having to work, and just like Rome we can get other nations to do the labor for us like China. Corona might have given us the blessing of forever NEEThood under the guise of free flowing capital to stimulate entrepreneurship, investment, and spending. This might pan out to be a better system than anything we had before and it is fucking hilarious.

You clearly are not an investor or you would have realized economics is a meme at this point, coronachan has exposed we were just bullshitting about the fundamentals this whole time. The economy as we know it is only 150 years old, and only remotely resembles our like 100 years ago. I bet you are still shorting this market you poor fool. Our entire system and way the market functions is under a complete change and overhaul, this is an important point in history where if this works everything changes forever and you might as well throw out your economics 101 textbook. I didn't want this, I been so far as being ancap for years. But not anymore, everything is a joke and doesn't matter. People are breaking this illusion of rules and fundamentals to realize things are simply as we say they are underneath. All it takes now is for people to go "why not?" and a new reality is born where all the problems from a NEET economy don't exist anymore. Just like how mercantilism transitioned to capitalism with the evolution of banking, so too will we evolve to a new stage (not communism, oh it is hilarious how wrong socialists are since historical marxism makes 0 claims to how a future economy looks like) and take advantage of new profit taking opportunities. And right now, NEETdom apparently can be capitalized. It works for me, it works for businesses, no one loses. Stop being angry and just embrace a potential future that makes everyone happier.

Of course the stock market goes up in dollars if free money is given to corps. this doesn't make it better for anyone. people stop working, people stop making things, people have fewer things. corps and kikes have a higher amount of fiat since they get the most handouts, you get caught in the cogs of a ponzi scheme and schlomo scalpels out your guts in 15 years and sends you to a death camp for being white and rich.

Where have you been the past few decades? We already didn't make stuff. We have certain industries like agriculture which do good and export, but we already moved to being a retail economy not doing shit but reselling what others have made a long time ago. I should say service economy to be more precise with everything since we do more than retail obviously. But my point is that products aren't going to disappear off the shelves anymore. Nothing is going to actually change. And to those who provide services still, well they can get more money.

This entire economy has and always will be a ponzi scheme, it has been so for decades. It doesn't matter though, we just prop it up forevermore. Corps get free dollars, but people are onto something here....giving free dollars to people instead who hand it to corps. That way everyone benefits and is happier without the stigma. No one is going to get rich off a NEET income, people are mostly stupid and won't invest like us. They will spend and be happy and kikes will bet on that. Anyone who is smart won't raise hell or instigate change from their rule, they just opt out of the system voluntarily. If you think of this from a villain's perspective, it makes a lot more sense to just let potential troublemakers go than to try and tie them down since 99% are lemmings anyways.

But in a serious note, the consumer economy does not change one bit from people not working so long as they can keep spending. Since we are service-oriented we just automate it and suddenly everyone is doing well and the rich are getting richer than ever before while we are doing well. If you think this cannot work then just look at Kuwait. Every citizen makes 100k+ a year given free by the government because of oil and nobody really works.

I don't want to go back. I hate my fucking job. I can live on very little and EI was more than enough. Now I have to slave away picking up the slack for the downsized department while paying income tax to support NEETs.
