@parismarx @FeralRobots What does “loss of all benefits” mean? The article didn’t discuss this. Does that mean something like free healthcare, unemployment benefits, and/or UBI? Or does it mean something else? I don’t dispute the rest of the article - it’s a decent quick overview of the tech sector’s fascist tendencies - but not sure demanding unemployed youth work a job to receive benefits is unique to fascists. Is that why the authors skipped over the benefits?
@dogzilla I didn't read the whole article, but I remember when I was unemployed in Portugal, we would go every forthright to show the documents proving we were looking for a job with the penalty of losing our unemployment benefits if we didn't show up, if we didn't actively look for a job or if we refused a job offer. I don't remember if we could refuse some at the time, so take this with a grain of salt. But we had to show up personally.
