It's not their fault the precariat has been getting shafted for a good 30 years now and HartzIV sends tons of people into disability welfare: Out of the employment statistics, out of mind. At least you can't get sanctioned once you're an alcoholic. "Those bums should just study at university and get a job" is peak liberal deflection, how about making it possible to live in dignity on a hair stylist's wage instead, how about making sure that not 30% of employment contracts are precarious, but 0%, so that you can actually plan a life instead of worrying that the subcontractor of a subcontractor you work for goes into wilful bankruptcy to lay you off.
