Except that it’s the person on the side track who controls the switch.

People are not being forced into this (by the US at least).



The labor market (how to get money if you don't have enough) creates a perverse incentive. I wonder if anyone has reaearched the "volunteers" and their position in both labor and wealth.


I wonder why I never hear this argument applied to government spending in general. In non-authoritarian countries, spending money is the primary means for the government to inflict their will on the public, regardless whether it will have a positive impact on society.


I think it's a question of "treat the symptom" sometimes as well. Some people really cannot make ends meet due to their locality and don't deserve to be stiffed by a migratory economy.


they are being forced by statistics. It's a supply/demand problem. If you get people in a bad economical situation and then give them enough money you will get them to do your thing. Just increase the amount of money until you get enough people signing up.
