Shocking Study Finds Paying People Not To Work Makes People Not Want To Work

Via The Babylon Bee

U.S.—A surprising new study released Friday found that paying people not to work made people not want to work.

Amid shockingly low job numbers released today, the study suggested that some of that low unemployment was due to the government sending everyone more money than they would have made out working a job. Some smart expert analysts are seeing a connection between incentivizing people to stay home and them staying home.

“It’s really bizarre — telling people to stay home and watch Netflix while we send them money makes people just stay home and watch Netflix while we send them money,” said one government official. “It seems that when you just send people checks they don’t really see a point to going to work.”

“We could not possibly have foreseen this.”

At publishing time, experts had recommended raising the minimum wage to $1,000,000 an hour to incentivize people to go back to work, foreseeing no negative consequences from this course of action.

Just like if you pay women to have babies, they will stay at home and have more babies.

Can we just pay white women to do that? Because that is a good idea if we can.

This is the start of UBI. Not universal basic income but unearned basic income. the camel’s nose is officially under the tent for the great unwashed.

If the government can give $6 trillion, for free, to the fucking (((bankers))), they can give the rest of us free shit, too.

Auntie wonders what are the odds of victory in the battle for global domination between The USSA’s Free-Shit Army against the PRC’s People’s Liberation Army?
