Cold on a Cob posted:Could we maybe tax the businesses instead? No? Ok, guess we tried. any form of tax that hits businesses selectively creates incentives for them to not do the thing, so they'd just start forcing people to come to work instead of letting them work from home tax them all

3D Megadoodoo posted:According to Wikipedia, ansiosidonnainen työttömyyspäiväraha doesn't exist in English, but it might exist in Danish! Yeah we don't have that in Denmark. You get dagpenge for a year (used to be two years) via your union, adjusted to your previous income, then you go on actual welfare, which is poo poo. e: yeah this all is what BonHair talked about I'm kindof in-between, being in a "flex-job", which is when you have a diagnosis that means you aren't able to work full time. So my employer pays me an hourly that's based on the same salary as they would a full time employee, and the city/municipality pays the rest on a percentage. It's a living wage for less hours, but it's a nightmare to get there. Only took about 8 years to get through the red tape, and the city is still trying to gently caress with me lol I'm just glad I managed to get it before they shut the whole program down in the name of austerity also yeah we are sadly very racist

BonHair posted:No, we have päivärahaa, not whatever long and convoluted poo poo you have. sorry i guess the translation i found was bad... i guess its still "up to" two years. i thought they cut it down to a year at some point, maybe not, you cant really tell when youre on it, the amount is so small that every day is a struggle and your horizon shrinks to a week at best. im lucky that my parents were still working and could lend me some money, theyre retired now and it wont be possible if it happens to me again. im paying back to them for the next 30 years lol

you only live in part of it, but you have to guard the whole thing. its like getting a job as the night watchman at a mall, but you get a room for free when youre not working, but instead of getting a paycheck, you have to pay rent Fried Watermelon should fill in here, cause i only know it second hand

man, even the total is lowballed (450 + 150) / 12 = 50 gbp per month for the insurance, plus 40 for groceries and 10 for cell service is already a 100. even ignoring the presents (also listed at 50 per month), thats not exactly 90. since he clearly lives at home, im guessing mum/dad pays the insurance too

BonHair posted:Yeah, agreed. It's not a full on conscription though, men (NO WOMEN) get a physical exam, an IQ test and then you get to either volunteer (most recruits) or draw lots to see if you have to serve. If you get a service lot, you can refuse military service and you get to do some other service, which apparently is a good way into the entertainment industry. Also you can be a conscientous objector, at least in Denmark They really wanted me for the army, but I worked at a hospital for 10 months. You can also work at cultural institutions & such
