Exactly! And something like this can push anybody over the edge into
drugs and alcohol. The orthodox capitalist homeless bashers here don't
seem to realise is it can also happen to them; they live in a fantasy
world where this stuff only happens to "other people", and that they
are somehow immune from the economy. Even the self employed here don't
seem to realise that their businesses can fold as well for whatever
reason and they too will be seeking work. A job search is stressful
and demoralizing enough, without the rotten economy we are in now.

Wrong, most obviously if you have retired and have had enough
of a clue to ensure that you have a fully paid off house to live in
and adequate savings and investments to live off.

Irrelevant if you have retired and have had enough of
a clue to ensure that you have a fully paid off house to
live in and adequate savings and investments to live off
or if you are competant enough to be one of those the
company cant do business without.

Not when you have enough of a clue to be employable by someone else.

Nope.

Pig ignorant lie.

It cant with most of them. They arent stupid enough to
resort to drugs and alcohol even if they do get sacked.
> they live in a fantasy world where this stuff only happens to "other people",
It aint a fantasy world, its the real world. Most arent stupid
enough to resort to drugs an alcohol when they get sacked.

They dont have to be immune from the economy to not end up 'homeless', fool.
JUST have enough of a clue to ensure that whatever
happens with the economy, they cant end up 'homeless'

Plenty have enough of a clue to be employable in areas
that are needed whatever the state of the economy.

Only for unemployable fools like you.

Hordes can manage fine without a job for a while, child.

Yet so many choose to live with such a financial policy that they cant
hang on with no job. Weird, but true.

They dont actually choose it in the considered choice sense,
they're just too stupid to origanise their financial affairs so
that they can survive the inevitable time between jobs fine.
Just like its perfectly possible to pay off every credit card
in full every month, many are just too stupid to do that.

What about those who make so little they can't even think about
savings and have high rents that there minimum
wages can just barely afford? We even had talk here a couple days ago
with someone wanting to eliminate the minimum wage and let employers
pay whatever they feel. Can you say 30 cent an hour wages. Of course,
the rents and food prices would not go down along with the ages.

There's no one like that.

They should get a clue and move to where the rents arent that high.

That did work in HongKong before it was returned to China.
> Can you say 30 cent an hour wages.
Have fun explaining why we didnt see that in HongKong before it was returned to China.

Corse the cost of food would when more grow their own.
So would the cost of rent as more live in the one place.

Those people probably don't have credit cards, so the question is meaningless.
If they DO have credit cards, some CC company is going to take gas.
