Um no fault divorce (even without a co-respondent etc) is in fact fairly recent


Indeed and most liberal-minded people think it was a good change.


One does not need to be married to afford shelter/clothing/food.

One must have income or wealth, however.


> One must have income or wealth, however.

That doesn’t mean the last company that they happened to work for owes them these things.

If you think people should be entitled to food and shelter, fine. But it should be provided by the state, not by a private business that was unlucky enough to make a bad hiring decision.

(And in fact, the state does provide various forms of welfare including unemployment insurance. I’d be in favor of increasing those.)


The only claim here is that companies should demonstrate just cause for firing!

The horror!
