      “Having a job is not a social obligation.”

      “What do you do?” is the first question asked when meeting someone new.

          I noticed a gap in your resume. Why don’t you have an address? Do you have reliable transportation?

          Try getting married without a job? Try getting a home, a car, a bank loan without a job? Our whole society runs on jobs.

            Asking if you have reliable transportation can be fair, depending on the job.

            If you don’t work on a bus route and have to work in-person you need a reliable way to consistently get to work. If that’s your roommate dropping you off, that’s fine. But unless you’re gonna cycle on a gravel road in a thunderstorm a bicycle may not be.

      Contributing something to society is a social obligation, otherwise you’re riding everyone else’s labor for free.

        Yeah, like those lazy housewives and people with disabilities that keep them from working are just freeloaders!

        Don’t get me started on children, they are the worst!

        I agree. Landlords and CEOs are parasites riding everyone else’s labor for free.

      “Having a job is not a social obligation.”

      Neither is providing you with anything more than you need to live. But most people find it well worth it to have a job.
