Surprised to not see this thread flooded with NEET defenders claiming it isn’t really like that. I’ve witnessed this shit with my own eyes. These people aren’t disabled, they are entitled. NEET is a choice. There are so many people who are genuinely unable to function in society. Folks with crippling anxiety, or other disabilities. They are not this.
I will say, billionaires also sit on their ass all day and get paid millions which they use to actively make my life more miserable; and while NEETs are an issue, they are not my top priority on “people I am pissed at.”
If we melt down the billionaires and start a UBI then the people who won’t or can’t contribute will be a burden spread thin instead of being a heavy weight on their families. My reasons for resentment of NEET by choice are personal.
NEET is an acronym that means Not in Employment, Education or Training. Essentially, it describes someone who is neither working nor going to school and likely not job seeking either. NEETs are usually financially supported by their parents or other family members.
Not employed, in education or training. In education or training usually implies that it’s to get a job later.
It usually more specifically someone who chooses not to pursue a job or career prospects. (Ie: being laid off for long periods of time but still looking for work doesnt count)
Which is disappointing because universal basic income would be a good thing to have for a lot of people who are genuinely struggling.
But for those who are not disabled, to get them to work and not chill on NEETbucks all year ‘round, the economy would have to be in a good shape and effort would have to pay off and not make all profits disappear into the billionaires’ pockets.
Well, if we boil down all the billionaires, we’d be well on the way to providing a UBI. Right now the NEETs are just a burden that most of us can’t afford.
Yep. I know plenty of pope who work menial jobs and whine all day and drink a lot… they are all from wealthy families and are just waiting for their folks to die and/or their trust to mature. they know they don’t have to do jack shit in life and they tend to look down on people who work hard… as losers.
It’s pure entitlement. And if you call them out on it, they go straight to the sob story about how mommy and daddy are mean or something.

I think they’re both failures of society, if we’re being honest with ourselves.
Sure, but only one of them is an active threat to everyone and it is not the NEETs, if we’re being honest with ourselves.
