A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I have a problem with the willingly in this thought.
The issue is that people are pretty unwilling to be homeless or starve if there's an alternative (no matter how terrible).
Working is the worst way to prevent yourself from starvation and homelessness except for all of the others.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but I've been homeless before and I don't think it's an "issue" that I don't want to go back to that.
Working is better than being homeless for most people. Because you can, doesnt mean everyone can.
I agree but that doesn't really clear up what I was trying to understand?
