@HebrideanHecate At my job we have about folks with ADHD/ADD. Only 2 get drugs for it. The other 3 aren’t eligible for pills aka they don’t have adhd. What they do have is the ability to generate money in the scheme the government set up that if a company hires a person with a disability they don’t have to pay them as much money.
This resulted in companies looking for “disabled” folk a lot. Hence if you give more people a stamp it more likely they get hired into non existent jobs but it looks like you as a country are doing really well. Fuck it all.
@HebrideanHecate I know of 2 companies who sell bs but earn money due to getting paid for hiring “disabled” folk. It’s a very depressing situation and just not maintainable long term. A major collapse is inevitable some day.
In 1973, healthy volunteers faked hallucinations to enter mental hospitals. Once inside, they acted normal, but doctors refused to let them leave. Normal behaviors like writing were diagnosed as "symptoms." The only people who realized they were sane were the actual patients.
@KeepTakingTheSoma Don't be mistaken. It happens in the private sector as well. Many companies get bonussen (one way or another - can be the government hire them for a big job if they have x% of employees from a particular demographic) for hiring certain folk, who then can't do anything and are just there bumming around. It can be very lucrative to have them around like that.
@Biff@KeepTakingTheSoma I think it's the entire West that does that. Europe has special policies for it. It's mandatory I think for Governments to do that. In part it's to hide the muslim problem Europe is dealing with.
@KeepTakingTheSoma I work in an office. Most of my coworkers sit around and do nothing. I think all in all 3 are actually pulling weight. The rest sits around collecting pay checks.
@KeepTakingTheSoma This is me in the office literally. Because as wonderful as they think AI is, they literally can't fire me without the company taking a massive blow in the nuts. Have to hire a new one, train them etc, is just too much of a hassle at this point.
@HebrideanHecate It's that the UK is explicitly being mentioned, but it might as well be about the Netherlands. It's the same here. And fuck crime being down, police not being able to do fuck about it, is what's going on.
A man who “married” a 15-year-old girl in a sharia ceremony attended by her social worker has been convicted of sexual offences against her in a new grooming scandal in Yorkshire. Raja Zulqurnean, 43, was convicted with seven other men of south-Asian backgrounds who were found to have sexually abused the victim since she was 13.
