Well that is how you and I think but is a sad statement that most people
pay for their fun before their necessities.

Many years ago I worked for a company that made hobby products (mostly
doe model airplanes) When the economy went bad and unemployment went
up, so did out sales. No work time, so, more time for hobby.

Well, when I was out of a job, my Home Depot budget went through the
roof. ;-) Just because you're not working doesn't mean you're broke.



It sure does if you've never made more than minimum wage, or never
made a "living wage"

No you're making **** up.

A large percentage of North American families are one paycheck away
from "broke".

Their choice. Choice is good, no matter what you lefties think.

And a large percentage of them are hard working folks who try, but
will never get ahead.

Most often, by their choice.

There are enough of them looking for work with a
"living wage" that an employer does not need to hire someone who is
not worth their wages.

Huh? Why would an employer hire someone not worth their wages?
....unless it's the government, of course.

Yes, that will leave the unemployable unemployed.

Good plan.

There will need to be programs to give those who CAN NOT do the jobs
that pay a living wage.

It's called "charity". ...and "incentive".

Likely need to be programs for those who won't work as well - like
wellfare - which we already have.

That program is called "starvation".
