Fuck unemployment. I mean fuck the government more, but I'm not taking handouts from big brother. I wouldn't want a handout from anybody, especially not the company that keeps weed illegal, blows up a million brown civilians a day in nonthreatening countries, hands out trillions in corporate welfare to scumfucks and generally wastes 90% of the money they get. So fuck that.
At the same time I applaud this guy. Not my style but he's doing the right thing.
As for me and work I have two defining questions:
Who gives me work?
Why do I do it?
If the answer to the first question is not "I give myself work" then it had better be fucking good. "Some company owned by a greedy guy that doesn't do shit except trick off the money that I earn for him with my blood sweat and tears" is not satisfactory.
I GREATLY prefer the answer to the second question not to be "money", but unexpected shit can and does happen. The answers to that one that I do like are usually along the lines of "fun, learning something interesting, and/or networking with quality like-minded people".
I have maintained reasonable levels of happiness and wallet size for years by pondering these two questions.
