Unemployment?

The problem we face currently is that multiple people in households claim a job at the same time.

Up to the 1970, it was normal for 1 person in the household to earn the money. Then it all changed because people became more materialistic and therefore needed more money to afford a more luxurious lifestyle.

Do not get me wrong I do not say women should not work; I am merely trying to say that if only one person in a household being man or woman would have a full time job, that this would drastically reduce the amount of jobseekers and therefore jobseeker allowance.

Personally I would not mind to be a houseman, even though it is a job on its own, if my wife makes more money than me.

The government does not help either by throwing money away or spend it on unnecessary things. It would be better if the government would build and invest in new factories and manufacturing sites across the country thus reducing the unemployment.

Here in the United Kingdom previously growing businesses like the world renowned metal works and the linen industry were sold to foreign investors who slowly killed these industries over here which costs tens of thousands of jobs in the UK alone.

Another concern is the ridicules wages being paid to the managers of companies and banks; yes they should be rewarded on how good they do their job but with reason say a four month salary tax free extra as a maximum, if the company has made a pre-set profit. Do not forget the managers could not make the profit if it was not for the workers.  No profit made? No bonus!

Let me hear your thoughts how to tackle this problem!

Euthanasia Yes or No?

With the world population getting older and older all the time, it gets more difficult to pay for all the pensions and retirement homes. For some terminally ill people who are kept alive in a selfish act by their relatives and hospitals.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to allow people to decide themselves, if they want to live on or not? I mean if people decide to put on paper (by their own will and sound of mind) that they want to be euthanized when they cannot take care of themselves anymore, and/or lost their dignity because others have to wipe their bums, or the terminally ill would it not be better to grant their wishes?

Personally I would not like to live on if that would happen to me, and I am sure there are many others who think the same but they do not let their voice be heard.

Retirement homes cost the tax payers a lot of money every year to keep them open. It is going to be more difficult every year to keep them up and running.

Euthanasia should be legal, and I think that the government should open controlled centres where this can be done. I agree there has to be some kind of screening and medical evidence (age speaks for itself).

The stupid thing to say is suicide is against the law, as the person who commits suicide does not care about it, as it is not possible to put a dead person in prison anyway.

If people want to end their lives let them do it but in a controlled manner. As many people will choose to follow this path, it will decrease the numbers of pensioners and terminally ill thus reducing costs which can be used for other good things.

Please let your thoughts be heard too.
