A friend of mine who's been on unemployment benefits for a couple of years now due to the chronic depressions he's suffering from was actually very happy about yesterday's ruling.
Many people with depression work (at least in my family). Pardon me for seeming insensitive, but how bad is his depression that he truly cannot work? I don’t mind the state paying for therapy and medicine for even a decade, but if someone does not attempt to seek work at any point thereof, surely then someone needs to intervene and say, “Hey, let me help you get a job.” No?
