    Uggh. I always feel this way when I read about some “jobs” program to help the already disadvantaged. And they’re supposed to line up for jobs and be grateful. As are we all.

  2. Yep. It’s a fairly unique standpoint we have. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to Bob Black’s essay for putting it all down so clearly. But until we get a socially-backed understanding of this viewpoint and something like citizen’s income to make it a financial reality, everyone’ll just have to be a hatstand or a doormat.
