How this guy drinking wine and smoking at bistros unemployed like, he rich or what?
Many non-US places (otherwise known as the rest of the world) have cheap wine, cheap food, and social benefits. Cigs though idk, you'd have to be insane to smoke in most developed countries because if the cancer doesn't kill you, the prices will.
::: spoiler Sorry to be so snarky but it's a lot funnier to put it that way. :::
cigarettes are like $2 for a pack in my country lol
I'm literally crying right now as an American smoker 😭
Careful, you might overexert yourself.
Good burn, I respect it
Same here. Or they would be if they made 3 cigarette packs.
How much $ does an unemployed person receive per month there? Is it enough to swing an addiction like that?
Any country with $2 cig packs gets $0 in unemployment.
at that time there was social assistance from the government that "paid" the unemployed, the amount of money given was around $69/month at that time, it existed 6 years ago but now it has been stopped. yeah, the unemployed earn $0 now if they don't do anything but somehow they can still buy cigs or even drink
I watched his videos a while ago and if I remember right he said that he just saved up money at his last job and was living off that. I'm also pretty sure he was living in London so definitely nothing cheap.
This reminds me. How do japanese shut ins afford to live the way they do?
The same way people here do probably. Mooching off their parents/friends/spouse/government.
mooching
Interesting choice of words, when discussing people with mental health issues.
I haven't known any shut ins that would qualify as having mental heath issues. Most of the people I know who never leave their house just don't want to have a job. They don't have any problems leaving the house or dealing with people they just don't want to work or support themselves. Of course instances where they physically can't leave their house because of mental health issues and trauma are different, but again that's never been my experience when dealing with people like that and I've known a lot of people who would be called "shut ins".
The mooches are down voting
Or just the people with basic deductive abilities.
So 100% of the ones you know have no problems leaving the house and functioning?
That doesnt sound like a very fair sample
I did say that's just been my experience and I did say that people with legitimate problems are different. The cases I've seen are spouses or partners who don't work but their partner has to do the work of two people or kids living with their parents well into their 40s and don't ever try to support themselves. I've known some people who bounce from couch to couch until the person they're staying with get's sick of them never contributing and kicks them out. Sometimes they do eventually become self sufficient and sometimes they find someone who's willing to support them and marry them never having to lift a finger. I doubt I'd ever be in the position to meet a real shut in who can't leave their house because they legitimate problems or have been traumatized so this has just been my experience.
Are they seeking help for it? If not, sounds like mooching to me.
“You’ve got a problem that makes it difficult for you to seek help for it. Fucking mooch.”
Another .world lib strikes again
So how do you propose the problem gets solved? It's unlikely someone who does not want to change will.
Social welfare checks. These are solved problems.

Stfu
Good one bro
