Yes we have the stock market.

>>577 Germany has Bürgergeld. It translates as "Money for citizens". Every German or not German resident who has permanent residence permit can request it if he has no employment. Theoretically you have to seek a job while receiving it, but many people can avoid to work for many years. Some even never worked in her life.

Yeah. Got max neetbux available which is around 920e but you only get it for 3 months if your previous work experience accumulated to more than nine months of work. You only need to go the job center once per month and tell them that you're still looking and name a few places you applied to. My life is pretty comfy. Alas all good things come to an end and I'll have to seek employment soon.

>>599 Was it possible to get ALG2 if you never worked? I forgot. If yes... whats the excuse of all that homeless scum in my city? Also: >Hutbürger-Bernd constantly complaining about immigrant privilege. >German bureaucrisy barely supports immigrants in the necessary steps to get jobs... sure, the guys from the South dont wanna do shit, but the women from Ukraine do. >Hutbürger focuses anger on the immigrants and not the system which causes that shit because its easier. I still say, give me enough money and I could be the next Hitler against my left-leaning conviction. All you need is 3 brain cells and better marketing, since I could formulate right winged goals into something that sounds positive; like using the bad support as an argument against immigration. Take notes.

Neet-Bernd here. I never worked. After quitting university without degree I went to the U25 Arge and requested subsidiaries. They gave but let Bernd sign a contract Eingliederungsvereinbarung where Bernd had to seek job. Bernd did only apply for jobs where Bernd had known not to be chosen for. Done this until at some point they stopped expecting Bernd to find a job. Still receiving money until now. Turned 34 last Month.

>>628 We're exactly the same age. I'm anything but over-ambitious, but I'm wondering: Why did you only apply for those jobs? Why didn't you try to get a job that pays you?

>>628 Also signed Eingliederungsvereinbarung, but I wanted to work. The system is bullshit. After garbage jobs I didnt find work for 2 years, and THEN they suggested re-education for the first time. Best and most motivating shit I've ever done. But then, I STILL got no job besides acquiring all those skills, annoying as fuck. Not even replies. I fucking HATE companies. Then, I got mediated to a job by ABSOLUTE luck, based on two Arbeitsamt employees talking during a lunch break (I thought its their job), but the condition was that I HAD to go there for a job interview. So I did and got my last job. Which, like all of my jobs, was an interesting work and I delivered good results, but as ALWAYS I was surrounded by incompetent and lazy assholes, with criminal bosses, and AGAIN lost my job because the company got broken. Every fucking time anon. I'm so tired of this shit. Also: Everything the Arbeitsamt does and suggests to you or teaches is always based on the lowest of jobs, like office worker, construction worker, factory worker... they, after all these years, are still not prepared for unemployed creatives or people who lost a higher, administrative position. They can help you with your job application, thats ALL they do. Best job ever.

>>629 In short: Bernd doesn't want to waste his life for work. See, if you work 8h per day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, subtracting the 5 weeks you have holidays, you are wasting 1880 hours of your life every year. The conditions of work which are expected in Germany are unacceptable. And if you want to work shorter (Teilzeit), in home office (to save time driving to work) or flexible working hours you will get turned down or receive so less payment you have to go to receive subsidiaries or be poor as fuck. Why run through all this trouble if Bernd can just avoid working and life the same, fairly poor life, but without the feel of wasting his life.

>>635 What do you do with all the free time?

>>636 Different Neetbernd: i built a 7k points warhammer army, got 10k hours in EU4. Fucked an autistic gril i met online and started lifting. The unemployment agency is run by female clerks on SSRIs and Birthcontrol. Just say you are neurodiverse and scared of work (basically). They have no tool to force you to work. Write a few applications and thats it. My last jobinterview was in 2022.

>>636 Go outside, clean my place, replay games, enjoying having no pressure, anger or fear compared to having a job. I'm single and don't spend much money, so my situation is usually that I spare as much money as I'm allowed to have, so if the state pays me, I won't run out of money. And I didnt put money aside or something to hide it from the state, unlike those guys who arrive with a Porsche or Lambo at the unemployment office.

>>639 I recommend you to do a job from time to time, once you're long-time unemployed you'll never get the chance to work again. And there might be a time where you have to. The last time I was unemployed, my laptop broke out of nowhere and couldnt be repaired. There I was, 3000 on the bank, needed 2000+ for a laptop.

>>639 > i built a 7k points warhammer army, got 10k hours in EU4. Fucked an autistic gril i met online and started lifting. Sounds like most employed people I know, although 10k hours seems a bit high. Also, 7k points seems a bit much, wasn't it about 1€ per point? Never played 40k myself, but I probably have the equivalent in magic cards.

>>641 WTF 2k or more for a laptop? Is it made of gold? Are you fucking serious? Bernds laptop is a HP elitebook for 700 EUR and has more than enough power for everything Benrd could imagine.

>>649 Predator Helios, old one couldnt handle my constant video rendering.

>>650 This sounds like a job for a PC. They have way better cooling and can draw more power without heating that much. So the hardware will live longer.

>>651 Its a gaming laptop, it has huge coolers. However, now my Enter button is broken, and you cant open that piece of shit. I had to use a secondary keyboard and turn the button off with some application, so it wont trigger automatically. Still, it sometimes happens. Its so odd that in an age of technology, its still not possible to just deactivate your on-board keyboard while keeping your USB keyboard activated. Its only "turn all off or not".

>>639 I have hundreds of hours on some steam games because I play in the morning, pause the game and get distracted doing other stuff all day.

>>639 Busfahrer!

Unless you're an elder, no. The closest thing is this "work scholarship" thing: where instead of getting a job and getting paid by a boss, some guy gives you a job but the government pays your salary instead. The idea was to encourage tradespeople and such who might want to hire help, or trainees, but can't afford it to actually do so at no expense. Yet everyone older than 40 has nuclear rage over this policy because they think it's actual neet money and will literally turn us into vuvuzoela. Meanwhile, the actual thing that happened is that a lot of people have fired their cheap workers like waiters, nannies and such and replaced them with guys on the "scholarship". I mean, unless you have family who work in government but that's a given anywhere, isn't it?

>>652 >you cant open that piece of shit What? With enough patience and the right tools, you can even fix a MacBook.

>>634 > but as ALWAYS I was surrounded by incompetent and lazy assholes, with criminal bosses, and AGAIN lost my job because the company got broken. Bernd knows people like you. If you were more competent than the people you're complaining about, none of this would happen.

>>660 > Meanwhile, the actual thing that happened is that a lot of people have fired their cheap workers like waiters, nannies and such and replaced them with guys on the "scholarship". It's so obvious this would happen and it has happened in so many other countries before, you have to assume this is exactly what they wanted.
