The difference is an unemployed persons cost is not a subsidy for profit.

And are you arguing we simply must pay the costs for people to exist? I agree given not existing is very highly undesirable.

Employed people, getting a subsidy so their employer enjoys greater profit makes sense how? Should a for profit enterprise earn it? Why is our help required?

If they really cannot afford their labor, they are not a viable business.

Or, we all agree to not care, so we end all the fucking with people on assistance?

Which is it?

To be really clear, I'm OK either way here. What I am not OK with is so damn many people underpaid and struggling hard with assistance despite arguably too much labor otherwise.
