Lawl, I don’t need the government to give me money to not work, I’m literally going to do that anyway, probably for a year or more. But finding a new job isn’t as easy as you seem to think. You just sound super out of touch with society as a whole.

I want everyone else to have the security to quit without having found a new job. And that requires social programs. Because insurance, and housing, and childcare needs and whatever else.

The perk of the social programs is giving people who live in poverty the security to walk away when the workplace is shit. People who live in poverty (of which I technically count based on income, even though I’ve managed to make it work through mostly choosing never to have a family, and getting lucky the partner of my deceased parent was willing to co-sign a cheap foreclosure for me at a good time in the market) typically can’t afford not to have steady income, and business rely on that to keep wages low. I recognize my privilege in being able to do this, and don’t see why I should be able when people who raise the next generation of humans can’t. If anyone should be able to take downtime to do things they want, it’s parents. But they are the most forced into long hour and low wages.

You might want to, as the internet says these days, touch grass.
