And just like that, the USA adopted Soviet style chosen career paths.

No no no, we'll simply adopt guided personal-chosen positional career placement services!

The bad part is that they are taking something that is common sense (accepting work if you are receiving unemployment payments) and turning it on its head and using it as a tool to force people into whatever job the gubment chooses for you. This after the same Gubment creates the chaos which made you lose your job in the first place, of course.

This is how it has worked in my state for decades.

That's how it works in all states, but we've never had the kicker of "more than you were making while working" before.

I've never had a "job offer" . I have to apply. Edit. I was actually offered a job once but it was no where near home.

He's correct. That's been the custom for decades.

Moving closer to communism. You are now assigned as a beet laborer, you will work 18 hours a day and make 3 dollars an hour, or else.

So you just get drunk all day and lie around in the field instead. Ever tried to force a horse to do anything it's pretty futile.

The horse doesn't have a house to foreclose on or children to be taken away by social services while they're disappeared in the middle of the night.

You get disappeared for speaking out about shit not for being lazy and drunk mainly because they would have to disappear everyone if lazy and drunk was all it took to qualify for disappearance.

3 dollars an hour

You will enjoy being free of your capitalist oppressors, or you will be given an all-expenses paid government vacation to camp where you will be taught how glorious it is.
