" Life is not a rehearsal, it's as happy or miserable as you want to make it"
Why do people need to want to get ahead? Perhaps they're happy where they are with what they have?
I agree... and I wasn't far from taking a job in Chch last year. Fortunately picked something up locally so I could stay with my family. I'd rather be broke with them than earning mega bucks and away from them. Does that mean I'm a lazy cunt?
I already have one of your jobs.

have you heard of "battered woman syndrome" coz there is a shit load of woman out there with it, little quips (like the one above) don't help them after they or their little ones have suffered,
is there are to many lazy bistards etc.... flogging the dole, sickness etc...
living & working in Auckland I did line haul.... got payed $7.32 phr that was mid 80's to 90 &
worked 118 hrs a week while the lazy prick next door got payed the same(800) for doing jack shit, & his attitude was why should I
& I see no change in their attitudes in the last 20 + years, except they now blame us for their drinking, gambling & drug problem because they have nothing to do, then take it out on the innocent because they're to weak to face up to what they have become
& the pc brgade jumps in & says we need more money for these poor folk blah blah blah,
take the ........ out the back save the tax payer $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ if they are found guilty & after a year or two we will see a big reduction in most areas

That's only difficult to understand if you insist that every man's work is worth the same.
In the real world people find they can afford to have someone build them a fence, for example, for say $1000. But if it costs too much more they'll either decide it's not worth the cost, or perhaps thay'll do it themselves.
The work's ALWAYS there if you want it. But you'll be working for whatever the market offers.
So the real trick is to arm yourself with as valuable a set of skills as you can manage.
Or go hungry.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
They are a tiny portion of the country and as mentioned many many many times before and even admitted by the govt, there aren't enough jobs to go around, let alone well paid ones. To the extent where they're legislating for lower wages for "kids"and trying to force them into work if they don't have a good enough excuse not to. Oh the joys of this society.
Ahhhh, the days of free education, affordable accommodation, affordable drink and food, plenty of "well paid" jobs etc... nothing like equating then to now. The only thing that has changed is that the cost of living v's a living wage has changed in favour of the cost of living. There will always be drinking problems (not restricted to "them), gambling problems (stock market with billions of spare change lost) etc...
The PC brigade? haven't heard that one in a while, although it does seem to go hand in hand with someone bleating about the good old days. Do you refuse to accept that life is more difficult these days? Granted "it's" still doable and people can still achieve, but the well paid jobs just aren't there for everyone to do so.
Then hyperinflation ensues and we carry on in a vicious circle until you are the one that's being dragged out the back.

To continue where Ocean1 left off: .... because anybody who wants to work but doesn't want to work for the going rate commensurate with his or her skills, is expecting someone else to work and produce extra, have it taken by the taxman, Government overhead and inefficiency to further reduce what is left over, and Govt to hand it out back to him/her to subsidise his/her lack of work ethic. That sounds harsh, but reality can't be negotiated with. It can be ignored for a time... But in the long run, something which can't continue, won't.
I wasn't suggesting that you were. When was the last time you discussed moving your family? It's more than the friends and the family etc... a mental state if you like. Why move if you're "happy"?
I'll remember to pass that on to every housewife/husband the next time they get together for a drinky. Get a job, I don't care that it'll cost more in childcare than you'll earn, but at least you'll have the right to complain
I'd love to... but I have a family to prepare a future for.
Oh I understand it, yet I still value the time and effort of every job just as equally as my own... but I'm not the one paying the wages. As I said earlier, start to remove what some people require and some deem unnecessary and it'll turn into a cluster fuck.
I built a fence once. 70m of it. Fucked my a muscle in my ribs somewhere drilling through compacted clay with the auger, but hey, the fence went up. My mate was stood over me laughing and everytime I laughed it hurt like fooken hell. Anyways, the real world is fucked and getting more and more fuckdered by the day. At some point we're gonna have to start building fences because they need to be built, not because it's nice to have one.
That is the bit I refuse to accept as common sense. The market is a sham. Yes it's the real world, but it's still an absolute sham and society and its structure keep it that way because of our ignorance of what it is and our preconceptions of what others are worth. Damn we'd be so much better off without it.
Nah, that's the easy bit if you're willing as you say, expensive these days, but what isn't. The trick is accepting that there are people who for whatever don't work, realising that there aren't enough jobs for everyone and realising that the lazy fucks should be catered for too. Depending on how you do it who knows, the lazy fucks might actually chip in some. Guess we'll never know as the market won't allow it.
Dooooooooomed to absolute failure and could take us with them should they decide to kill the farmers and eat the produce.
