@hansw@mastodon.social Yes but that isnt due to inability in most cases but unwillingness... Almost everyone, short of having some disease or medical condition is capable of learning some profitable skill, whether it is intellectual or a non-intellectual skill.

The people who remain are either disabled and cant work, have a mental illness and dont work because it overwhelms them, or are just lazy.

The first two people arent helped my minimum wage anyway, since they cant or wont work due to their illness so its a moot point.. As for the people who are explicitly lazy, thats on them and not an excuse to give them a free ride. The oppertunity is there for them when their situation causes them to be ready for it. In the meantime welfare will at least keep them in poor conditions but alive.
