Lower back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, these kinds of injuries pay off extremely well in this country. Also if you are a woman and decide to get pregnant 5 or 6 times the government will pay you more for each one, you get a triple score bump to your 'salary' if you have a child with some form of disability as well! If you have managed to eat too much of this free food and find your self at about 250 lbs or more all you would need is a doctors note (doctors give these out easily here) and you will never have to work again because this counts as a disability too! Not only can you claim being too fat to work, you can also get a free scooter bike so you can block local traffic on the roads riding 5 km's an hour on your way to burger king for whopper wednesdays...

We have food banks, but honestly, the only people using them are the parents who are spending their money on things like gambling, drugs or big screen tv's because the freebies that you get around here makes hunger an impossibility. Even the street people around here eat fine.

I am fully aware that anyone can get in a pinch, even the most honest of us over the course of their lives, and that these programs can be helpful if that ever does happen, but people treat these programs as careers.. and that is fucking horrible.
