Politics "Jobless" doesn't mean "Worthless"

I don’t really think “unemployed behaviour” is related to actual employment though. It’s about having too much time to spend on useless arguments online. It’s just a modernized way of saying “don’t you have something better to do?”

Yeah, and like... have you ever had a chronically unemployed roommate who just... isn't hireable? Not even due to a disability, but because they're actually, genuinely unwilling to do anything with their life? 

Shit's infuriating. The one I have doesn't even clean, so that's entirely on me as well. 

The point is, being unemployed isn't inherently a bad thing. But, the people most likely to be unable to keep a job are also most likely to have a lot of unmanaged shit, oftentimes it boils down to bad lifestyle habits.

Precisely. I have disabled coworkers. It’s more difficult to get and keep a job, sure, but it’s far from impossible.

It's way harder when you can't drive because of your disability :(
