I saw this on Reddit and thought it was interesting.

One in four Gen Zs have thought about quitting work over the last year, citing mental health as a key reason to go unemployed.

Do they believe that, somewhere, there is still a dole like the one punk rock was built on in the 70s, or have romantic visions of sleeping under the stars and making enough coin begging/busking to buy the odd kebab? Or are these people who have generational wealth they can tap into, making unemployment into a sabbatical of sorts?

They're just thoughts, even broke people can afford those.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
