I was going to say more like #gatekeeping

Can we just assume in good-faith that OP is not talking about defrauding the government of a foreign country for political asylum, we're just using the word "refugee" as a little tongue-in-cheek stand-in for "expat"?

That is how took it ; and why did everyone , get so serious ?

If i wasn't a legless Old-guy ; i'd learn to kiteboard -- tandem , with a passenger, and
sell rides for a living. I did that with a hang glider, for 15 years ; traveled
all over the place for free !

Claim welfare is an indication the person
Doesn’t want to work.
The money for nothing part is not cool, in
My opinion , if that’s the intent.

As others have mentioned , kiting is a marketable skill.
Teach some people , and pull your own weight.

Or, be a scammer. 🤷‍♂️

Please let us know , either way. 😄

Seems a lot of folks on here have bought into the
‘You’re only worth what you can produce’ thing.
It’s not the only way to be useful on this planet. But go right ahead and work hard until you retire decrepit & die.

There's nothing wrong with being out of the rat race, downsizing, living cheap, living off grid, avoid consumerism, outside of society, etc... but it only becomes questionable once you ask for taxpayers to fund your beach bum lifestyle forever.
Having the safety net of hospitals and health care, and having some form of law and order, and some education for the kids, it all comes at a price. And if you just want those benefits but not contribute anything towards that, by choice, then, to me, you're pretty much just a parasite. And forcing the ones in the system to work harder for you when they surely would prefer to step down a little bit as well.

I fully agree.
But Bragnouff; Don't expect parasites to agree with this opinion. They will likely justify their behaviours with some silly reasoning like: "the 'system' allows it so it is okay to do. I didn't make these rules, just using it."

Nah, I don’t really care all that much either way but I think the justification might be why help support a corrupt and unfixable system to continue destroying everything it touches, even including itself.

i blame the hippies.
personally.

they already ruined california, and managed turned seattle into a literal heroin addicted pile of poo (in 10 years)...and now they're trying to ruin the great state of texas by bringing their commie voting habits when they move into the state.

some folks don't realize that they reason they lost their jobs...was because they kept voting for people that raised taxes on/increased cost of doing business for their employers


my proposed solution is to require hippie types to relocate and then restrict their movements to inside austin city limits until they learn to stop voting irresponsibly...
austin is already weird..and already a lost cause. the city is more californian than anywhere in california.

..or simply take away voting rights of all liberals.

that works too... the benefit is decisions will be made by the responsible adults of society (and not by parasite voting to get more "free" stuff or to get others to pay for their hobbies/insecurities)
