I worked a shitty job to get through college, it's a stepping stone.
These jobs aren't meant to live on. They should be used as part time jobs for people transitioning in their careers, like students.
When you give handouts to people who don't want to work you are not doing them any favors. They become reliant and trapped in that loop.
That's not to say there shouldn't be a safety net with strict qualifications. You're doing no service to the people who need it by allowing those who don't.
We should be spending money creating new, better paying jobs, not new social programs.
