No one should lose social assistance and be pushed into destitution. Social security is a right, not a penalty.

Families shouldn’t be penalized by denying them vital social assistance. Social security is a right: restore it now!

The French are supposedly welfare recipients who don’t work, who wait for everything to come from the state, who have privileges and receive public money or free services (such as school lunches) without giving anything in return or showing any gratitude. They would only work 35 hours a week, when they have a job. Having a paid job does not automatically mean that you are useful to society. What about what David Graeber calls “bullshit jobs,” which refers to “the vast majority of office workers, who are forced to devote their lives to tasks that are useless and of no real interest to society, but which nevertheless help to maintain employment“; ”a form of paid employment that is so completely useless, superfluous or harmful that even the employee cannot justify its existence, although he feels obliged, in order to honor the terms of his contract, to pretend that this is not the case.” (Bullshit jobs – Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs)? What should we think of workers who pollute solely to enrich the ultra-rich? What should we think of those who do their jobs without achieving public service objectives (for example, teachers in France who do not meet equal opportunity targets)? What should we think of workers who do not produce quality work for the sole purpose of enriching their bosses (e.g., construction workers who build poorly soundproofed, poorly insulated homes made of concrete that cracks after 50 years)? There are many volunteers and informal workers who are very useful to society. For example, firefighters, sea rescuers, teachers who teach French to immigrants, activists who defend human rights or the environment, housewives, and people who care for the disabled or elderly. Furthermore, some jobs are harmful to society: embezzlement, pollution, overproduction, illnesses linked to poor lifestyles caused by work (sedentary lifestyles, poor diet, stress, etc.) that are paid for by society, etc. They cost other people money. There are e…
