You won’t see the discrimination in the ad, but trust me, you will experience it when they pick the candidates. Used to be women that suffered, now, I am not so sure.

I wonder if anyone has actually tested all these methods and worked out which ones generate enough income to make them worth doing. If someone has they yeah, just rack them up on a site with links to each and instructions to get through them quickly and charge people a share to use the site they are listed on. Why not? There are loads of ways to make money without any skills if you have a laptop and internet connection. Or tablet and Starbucks near to hand. No reason to be claiming benefits then – actually, I bet some people are doing both as it would be hard to trace.
Why? Nobody needs job agencies, they need jobs. Use the internet and find one for yourself, it shows the type of initiative employers are after anyways.
Unemployment is essential. To be frank, for the economy to be liquid and able to adapt quickly to macro markets, each country needs a large enough pool of “potential workforce” to fulfil new opportunities. After all, they cost nothing to keep out of work compared to the spend on their rich land-lords who get twice as much benefit from their unemployment than the actual unemployed person.
Welfare policies that force unemployed young people to carry out regular voluntary work are unlikely to improve their mental health and wellbeing, new research says.
Bad idea. It would make genuine council workers feel devalued. We owe a lot to street cleaners and others, it would be horrid to make them feel their job was some sort of punishment. No?

If we insist on playing God, I would prefer we be benevolent creators than tyrannical rulers, especially in a world where the robots could reject and replace us eventually. The AI revolution seems inevitable. We should make sure we’re on the right side.
I saw a guy from Boston Dynamics beating up on a robot – it made me feel sad, despite knowing it wasn’t even “feeling” it – wasn’t even a robot but a cgi trick. Playing with our emotions already and they don’t know it – bless the bots, they will tell us who we really are.
As robots learn more and more by imitation, we may have to start treating them better. As machines approach intelligent status, should there be a code of ethics for how we behave around them?
Interesting. It would be wrong to let people think that their robots are persons.
“There are several fundamental claims of this paper:
1 – Having servants is good and useful, provided no one is dehumanised.
2 – A robot can be a servant without being a person.

4 – It would be wrong to let people think that their robots are persons.”
Highly recommend Intelius for this, we use them at work. Its already a thing and a good one at that for sectors that require properly qualified honest staff.

An extra 100 quid per week wouldn’t go amis if you could earn it on a weekend. Been watching things like this for a while and they seem doable.

There are a few “sustainability” jobs agencies around. I guess to some that means eco or environmentally friendly unless its just a marketing angle.

Bad for their mental health, the economy and also very bad for the already overburdened councils. Would be a nice idea if it worked though.

Having kids makes the country more money. It saves the country more money too. think about it.
Interesting idea, there has been much discussion on this tbh.
Since 2017, they have only been paid for the first 2 kids they have – oh, that’s ok then (?)

But wouldn’t business owners just pay themselves a low rate to dodge tax? It may create more loopholes than already exist. Don’t think it could work.
Consumption tax is what they are calling sales tax now, sounds better right?
Didn’t think of that, but the old idea of ditching income tax has its merits too. After all, it’s not a crime to make money, just to spend it.
