Economically Inactive

by Pintel Tue Feb 21, 2023 7:15 pm

I keep hearing this term on the main stream media. And wondered what the term ment? The Economics Inactive? Is this an attack on the poorest in society, as they can't use ethnicity or gender etc. So make up this term, to describe the job less. However, I myself and others on benefits. All of my

money goes straight back into the system, as I imagine so do other claimant's. So whom are the Economically Inactive?

Is it the one's with Off-Shore accounts, or the Non-Domicile residents...

Economically inactive usually refers to those who are not working and/or not looking for work. To this government it probably means those who are the enemy of the state. Non-doms would probably not appreciate being lumped in with the great unwashed.

Yes Pintel, their way of saying lazy bastards trying to make people out of work through no fault of their own feel guilty about being either sick, or due to the economic cock up Uk is currently in and has been past 10 years imo.

I will say this again just in case someone out there may have missed my other 100 moans Twisted Evil

but box packing, shelf stacking, serving in coffee bars isn't a wonderful economy. And here we all are Rolling Eyes

In curtain twitching city Laughing

Only a total moron would believe people are happy to be living on rice grain JSA for pay. Particularly so for others who once earnt a good living. The kind where they once worked and could afford decent clothes, run a car, saved some cash, paid into a pension fund ad took 1 holiday a year. Also had some kind of social life. Not the internet kind Rolling Eyes

.

Of course, the above can still be done, as long as people are capable or want to work in warehouse city for 100 hours a week to get the same wages that took 38 hours to achieve few years back. Or stay living at home with mum and dad and all will be well. Just don't leave home.

There are many others out there who are economically inactive and getting handsomely paid, can anyone guess who ? Rolling Eyes

You can afford rice Jobberpw? affraid

I could not afford rice before the crisis. I'm doing something wrong.

Definition: Economic inactivity means that people (aged 16-64) are not involved in the labour market – they are neither working nor actively seeking employment. Economic inactivity includes students, early retirees, and the long-term sick. There are 8.5 million counted as economically inactive in the UK."

Can't wait to see the work roaches faces when they are put on a 4-day week.

Thanks for the definition #Oneman

.

I wonder if the 'career criminals' would be added 'Economic inactivity' classification. As it seems to cover most other people? 🤬

On the link, it does have a category of 'Other':

"Other. This could include people who choose alternative lifestyles, for example being self-sufficient and growing your own food. As there is no official job, it would count as economically inactive.

Did you get to read the conclusion at the end Pintel?

You have to laugh at this made up bull shit.

"Conclusion

However, ‘economically inactive’ is a rather misleading term.

Students are increasing long-term labour productivity.
Care-givers are offering a vital public service – which would have a very high cost should the government pay directly.
Parents and people who look after family also provide a hidden economic service.
Early retirement is chosen by many who want to prioritise leisure over monetary gain.
The long-term sickness of 2 million suggests we should endeavour to try and improve the health of the population – through better preventative policies for issues like diabetes and heart disease.

No fucking mention of the disabled or over 50's here

Sadly Pintel I for see them using some of their 'flexibility foresight' here, saying they can work from home on that day off to hound the hell out of us all. Bonuses all around

Hopefully AI will get rid of these people, & soon .

Therese Coffey mp (ex DWP

minister) comment " ..cherish our nation's turnips".

After Ms Coffey's comments I've been thinking. Maybe the UK could become the world

leader in Turnip production to ease the economy.

...

Maybe Ms Coffey could become the 'Turnip Tsar Therese".

Maybe her catchphrase could be "Stand and Deliver, the Turnips" . While dressed up as Highway man Dick Turpin..

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Turpin

But what about 'Burns Night Supper'(25/jan). Could there be a national shortage of 'Neeps' (Turnips), for the haggis, neeps, and tatties feast.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burns_supper

Or as the ex DWP

minister, how about instead of 'Go to work on an Egg". You could have 'Turn up on a Turnip"...🤨

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_to_work_on_an_egg

And finally before the tablet's

start to work... You could alter the muscial tune of " Tulips from Amsterdam"

.
With 'Turnips from Amersham'.

Turnips were bearing a reduced yellow sticker in my local co-op at the weekend. Send me all your money and I will happily get you even more turnips for your measly benefits.

"Keir Starmer branded the Conservatives as "turnips" and branded Jeremy Hunt's Budget was “dressing up stagnation as stability”, claiming it put the country “on a path of managed decline”.... "

I read Sir Starmer, is now jumping on the Turnip Wagon? 🤨
