My sentiment as well. Preserving unnecessary jobs for the sole purpose of delivering a paycheck is just a cruel version of welfare. If we're going to pay people to contribute nothing or next to nothing because they need an income and that's their only option, can't we just write the check without obliterating the hours they could be using to improve themselves in some way?
Preserve and support people, not jobs.
