How are leeches on food stamps supposed to get jobs?

Bait and switch with hours and pay.
Ghost jobs everywhere.
Ghosting everywhere.
Lying on your resume doesn't work.
Walking into places doesn't work.
Temp agencies have been useless for many years.
People are coveting their burger flipper jobs.
Even walking into Amazon and getting one of the worst jobs ever isn't a thing anymore.

Just pursing an absolutely horrible dead-end job has become unbearably soul-crushing.
Getting that job has become literally borderline impossible.
And that's still if you're a normal, educated, well-adjusted person.

Now you see all these leeches screeching about losing their gibs if they don't get to work and get jobs. Okay. Let's assume they do try to get jobs: There's no way people like that can hold down a job. But there's also no way they can even get them in the first place when they're clearly inferior candidates.

So what the ♥♥♥♥ is the plan, pragmatically, to get them working?

Lol what makes you think you get food stamps for free?

Unless your disabled (which is notoriously hard to prove), you have to have a job or be actively looking for one. Seems like years of applying to jobs would land you one.

The real travesty that corporations cant bother to pay people a living wage and using taxpayers to subsidize it. But no one gives a ♥♥♥♥ about that because they dont want to really think about it.

The rich can live comfortably off stealing money from the taxpayer, but poor people are expected to get three part time jobs and destroy their body for minimum wage.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wild. And people DEFEND IT!

So you made a system whose goal was to make sure them stay at the bottom and it works exactly the way you wanted. And now them sick of pretending.

The only leeches are the wealthy billionaires with political power, never the poor.

You'll only rile the capitalism apologists up by posting here

The solutions are glaringly obvious, but they're not as profitable as the current, overtly corrupt system, and that's why they haven't been implemented

The solution is obviously shifting to a resource based economy, and or implementing a universal basic income

If there's not enough labour for people wanting to be labourers, then supports for those people need to be put in place and liveable

If the labour available isn't liveable, then there needs to be a restructure and redistribution of wealth in regards to classism

These solutions are simple, but because we live in a dystopian corporatocracy, they won't be implemented. There needs to be disruption in the form of either violent revolution -- as history shows -- civil war, or world war. There's no other meaningful mechanisms for long-term change

universal basic income will only cause people to stop working. already occuring with euopean welfare states becoming overburdened especially with many people who keep receiving benefits but dont contribute anything back. ubi will make this worse

ubi is only charming idea to people who feel entitled to resources for simply existing. that is not how real world works. if you want things you must work for it.

socialist fantasies immediately implode when they run out of other peoples money.
capitalism meanwhile has created the wealthiest civilizations in history.

This is just wrong

Your reasoning is flawed and self-defeating. Your argument against UBI can't be "So people want more than they have" when the same argument is used in support of a UBI

If someone wants more than what they have while on a UBI, guess what they'll do? They'll look for a job

And again, let's make sure we're posing this correctly: There's not enough jobs for people. That's the problem which we're facing. You seem incapable of understanding this for some reason

Every study shows that you're wrong, but that's never stopped Trump supporters before

If you bothered to read, you'd see that I included peer reviewed papers. You're simply trying to dismiss something which clashes with your preexisting worldview out of laziness

Have a spine
