The Pursuit of Happiness
— LauraW

Done. You Can Stop Chasing It Now

Darlings, with a heavy heart, we must admit defeat to the Left about an important issue.

Up until recently, most of us here understood that happiness is something the government cannot give you. It is something we must furnish for ourselves, and the government's job is to refrain as much as possible from impeding our progress to this highly individual and subjective goal.

But we were wrong. The government can deliver on happiness.

Specifically, the government can create conditions where people may no longer be painfully chained to a job they don't like, just because the place offers great health benefits. Certainly this new definition of freedom will lead inexorably to enduring bliss.

The individual bliss of its citizens, after all, being the entire purpose and endgame of all government action.

I hope you will join me in encouraging people of the leftish persuasion to throw off their chains, and walk off these (well-compensated but personally unsatisfying) jobs immediately.

Truly, economic wisdom has been turned on its head. At no other point in history has this concept of freedom from (stressful, but well-paid) employment ever been advanced by public policy makers and pols.

The reason, of course, was because it never seemed like a good idea up until people had to brainstorm up bullsh*t excuses for Obamacare's failures. You may even say this is 'unprecedented.' And you would be correct.

You're probably worried about the costs to the economy if suddenly millions of positions went unmanned tomorrow, but don't fret: they won't go unfilled for long.

There are millions of people out there already looking for these jobs, who will actually be made happy by having them! So you see, where the Obama economy creates a want, it also creates a solution for that want, and now twice the people are made happy by the same action. This is the Obamaconomic Happiness Multiplier Effect, I just invented it, and you must credit the blog for all references.

Happy Friday, Sugarbritches.

7 Yeah if a couple of liberal lab techs want to up and leave they're jobs, I'd be totally happy. Alternatively if a couple of professors wanted to quit, I'd go for that too. Preferably the ones who argued government should provide health insurance for everyone!

36 Not to be classist or racist or anything, but yes, I know several people who live off the government teat.  They may live in a dilapidated trailer home or smoke meth and crash on a naked mattress on the floor (when they crash) but they milk Uncle Sam for all the freebies they can get, do a tiny bit of under the table work for cash and they think they've got it good. 

The "welfare queen" argument is anything but invalid.

I guess if you want to "be free" like these folks, a job is the last thing you want.

Yes, that's right, Obamacare even trashed Romneycare plans that have been around for close to a decade.

I don't get bothered by this anymore. I just chalk it up as the cost of doing business until such a time that I have amassed enough physical assets that I can pull the plug out of the back of my neck and quit working for others.

 

Then it will be strictly cash or barter, leaving me with no income (that can be traced or verified) to tax.

96 The end result of Obama's economy destroying policy will be men with guns ordering you to do work you do not want to do.

In the discussions about extending unemployment recently one Democrat office holder (I forget the name) suggested that instead of UE the government should just offer a job to anyone who was unemployed for any length of time.

When asked how he would handle people that didn't want the job, he blithely said that you would be mandated to work at it...

This is something a competent Republican party would have actually started talking about. It is a good talking point, but more importantly the end state of Obama's polices anyway.

Yet the Funemployment rate dropped another tenth of a percent

131 Don't you just love how the left is using every excuse they can conceive as to why this is supposedly a good thing? They call it everything except what it really is: a massive increase of the welfare state.

They know this is unsustainable. We're already running massive deficits under the existing welfare costs. One thing that would fix the problem is if a massive portion of the dependent population were to die off quickly. Such things don't happen in a predictable fashion historically, unless it it entirely the doing of humans.

So what are they planning?

"To give a single example - The word free still existed in Newspeak, but could only be used in such statements as "The dog is free from lice" or "This field is free from weeds." It could not be used in its old sense of "politically free" or "intellectually free," since political and intellectual freedom no longer existed even as concepts, and were therefore of necessity nameless."

205 Happiness is fabricating your job search online and getting your unemployment check without ever leaving the house for the month. Why go to that trouble? Apply to three jobs you won't possibly get a callback on. Like a machinist job if you're not a machinist. Then you don't have to make anything up. It's 100% legit, and less work.

207 Another thing about liberal ignorance. They seem to think that all the great music and art and literature from the past was not work but leisure. In my choir, we're doing Handel's Israel in Egypt. Anyone that takes a look at that work and think it must have been a breeze to compose is either incredibly damn and unimaginative or has no clue about music. 8 (yes beautifully complex vocal parts, not to mention the incredible instrumental score for all sorts of instruments. Yes, he was a genius, but there's no way that came effortlessly.

208 Remember the good old days when Bill Clinton was president? When liberals at least pretended to have common sense? Remember when even liberals felt that welfare should be a temporary safety net, not a lifelong way of life? Remember when pro-choice liberals thought that abortion was something to be avoided, as opposed to "Free Abortions for Everyone, No Apologies"? Remember when it was considered perfectly reasonable for an adult woman to pay for her own birth control? Remember when medical doctors weren't required to do data collection for the federal government? The unamerican bastards have come out from the shadows and I hate them more every day.

Now, let's ignore the fact that parents already do this without government help, but say the delusion exists... The irony is, those that really need to work, and will fill all of those new job positions popping up from the lazy do-nothings new freedom couch sitters, is that it is those with children that need the jobs the most. I guess you can have an illegal alien tuck in your kids for you. Or, that lazy nephew if he can drag himself away from WoW or Halo.

This whole process of trying to work legally has been quite draining -  my SIL is in a field not available here (oil exploration) and his whole business is reliant on US regs

 

14 months for a  approval for a visa is a bit harsh I reckon

 

Anyway it has been granted and his business is going ahead (a patent for sulphur extraction at the drill site)

 

But it has been traumatic for my dear daughter who has not been game to move to the US without a visa

 

Now she doesn't want to go because of Obamacare - she has lupus and is concerned about care in the US for foreigners

301 I will call up my niece, she rocks a pecan pie. Also she works for a hospital, it is entirely possible that she has been obamacare liberated from her job of fixing medical machines, so that should give her all the time in the world to make us pecan pie. Posted by: traye

Hopefully, Congress (or Obama's pen) will soon regulate pecan pie cooking so that your niece cannot endanger her Liberty by working her pecan pie making ability into a small business and thus employ (and once again enslave) herself.

306 213 Ha. Of all the things for an on-air fluff head to contract, Costas gets pink eye. I know it's a common ailment, but it elicits a universal "eeeeewwww" whenever you see someone with it.

Isn't one of the things they are saying that funemployment will encourage are more entrepreneurs?  I thought to myself, but... isn't that work?  How can I be funemployed and work at the same time?

Driving on the wrong bloody side

 

I hit a bridge in Hawaii trying so hard to keep on the wrong side I went so far right and scraped the hire car on a bridge

 

Yikes I almost had a panic attack! Since then I have politely declined to drive in the US

 

My poor Aussie old bloke almost lost it a few years later in awful driving conditions in Pennsylvania - we had to decamp to a motel to recover from the experience!

 

Vegemite - I have just had some Vegemite on toast at 5am - perfect late night snack for insomniac Olympic watching Aussies! Yum

328 funemployment will encourage...more entrepreneurs

They'll be especially bummed when it's a fuckton harder to run your own business than being a corporate drone with a steady paycheck. Don't get me wrong--I love being self employed. But someone who bitches about work being difficult has no idea how much more difficult it is to be a hunter-gatherer businessperson.

I'm sure their answer will be, "I'll just use Kickstarter!" Good. Luck. With. That. Pajamapeople.

332 And I didn't see any black ethnicities (or is it race, who knows?) listed. We're all covered under black or AA. Why do Obama and Democrats hate black people? Posted by: chique d'afrique (the artist formerly known as african chick) at February 07, 2014 12:57 PM (r+7wo) With the prevalence of inter-racial marriage and dating, the whole concept of race is becoming meaningless. In my area a large number of children you see are bi-racial, multi-racial. Sooner or later we're going to have to stop categorizing by race. I really think that in the next fifty years our attitudes about race are going to change drastically.

335 I plan to leave my job in March or April, mainly because they have decided to not hire for my skillset and I am sick to death of being both driven crazy and overworked using that skillset. I have had a headache nonstop since last Halloween-flaring up to an intractible migraine several days a week. Since pain and migraine meds make me very sick, I have been getting by with aspirin or ibuprofen and muscle relaxers. I keep threatening to hang a sign in my cube that says, "Neither aspirin nor ibuprofen are food groups." I finally declared a migraine disability in self defense and even though my review was stellar, I got the disappointed frownie concerned face from my supervisor along with the admonition to do better about the headaches. OK, alltherightyf@ckthen, I will do better because I will be gone and you can give someone else my dayum headache ration. TG, I am not bitter. TG for a wonderful guy who saw to it that I won't have to eat my daily headache ration any more. BTW, Ocare plays no part in my strategy. NONE.
