You can also find this post here and here) The focus of conventional employment policy is on creating ‘more work’. People without work and in receipt of benefits are viewed as a drain on the…
(Nick’s Notes: These tips were included by a friend of mine on Facebook. I don’t necessarily agree with all of them but I thought they may prove useful either way.) #1 Volunteer for all tasks that involve leaving the job site- in my case it’s usually going to the pharmacy to pick up emergency meds,…

Was it the callous use of a soldier who lost most of his body for the nation-state and should lose more for the nation-state.
