@jax and other advocates of lazy dependency on others:
I increasingly notice that precisely those who don't realize they must take responsibility for everything in their life and not rely on other people, institutions,... haven't experienced a negative experience that would put them on solid ground or it was still so tolerable that they could console themselves with one of the above-mentioned excuses and move on.
Unfortunately, I have. Yes, the duty of the state was to provide me with social security in this case. But it wasn't. The duty of the health system was to cure me. But it didn't. I had to do it myself. Especially due to the incompetent family doctor (already changed in the meantime, of course). The duty of the rule-of-law state was to provide me justice in court. But it didn't! Especially due to the piss-poor lawyer who cashed in fat bucks with the whole court process instead of telling me right at the beginning that in this specific case I have no chance in court!
In all its cruelty, what Josef Kirschner says in the book Art of Egoism came true for me: "Do something for yourself in good time and don't wait for others. Take responsibility for yourself and your life yourself. If you leave it to others and wait for them to do something for you, they might, but only if it's also in their interest; otherwise, they'll mercilessly exploit you. When you can no longer, they'll discard you; no one will care for you anymore."
Well, exactly that happened to me; that was the experience! And since then I look at life differently. Those who haven't experienced something like that can still live and float in the clouds and imagine how others will do everything for them and that the only sense of life is delegating responsibility to others.
The duty of the state is to care for welfare, right? Yes, and there it stops. At the duty, namely! Well, just take a look at how the state respects this duty! We can see it clearly. Just don't tell me it's good,...
No, I didn't mean work without extra pay at all but to do as much as possible in eight hours or be as productive as possible. And of course know how to deal with bosses well,... and so on so as not to talk now about all strategies for success at work, which we know doesn't depend only on work.
Otherwise, over eight hours I don't either. Or a special contract and special pay. Then I can. But what is reality, say, in Germany and America is science-fiction for our employers. When after the above-described personal crisis I was looking for a job again, I was at an interview in some company where they expected me to work I don't know what overtime, even at home and I don't know what, for regular pay. I politely thanked them. If they had offered me more, I would have considered it. And if it suited me, of course, or I would have considered whether I might not find some better-paid side job instead of that extra work.
As for health care: The last thing I would expect is that some fellow mountaineer starts threatening me with the warning to be careful how dangerous a sport mountaineering is,... I usually hear that from non-mountaineers, or ordinary mountaineering plebeians who have rarely been higher than Krim or Kum (of course almost half were on Triglav). And I reply to them whether they will perhaps stop driving a car because of road accidents (for which the probability of happening to you is incomparably higher). And only they can throw mountaineers and their possible need for health services into the same category as smokers, alcoholics, and similar.
Mountaineering is above all a responsible sport. Well, we're back to responsibility. Not only do you take care yourself, acquire the best equipment, insure yourself,... not to repeat everything. Also here you mustn't shift responsibility onto others. E.g., rely that the one above won't trigger rocks - protect yourself with a helmet. But of course something can happen to anyone even if you insure yourself as best you can. That we all know here.
As for 700 EUR, I'm uncompromising: yes, such a one should go to work, because otherwise he's just an ordinary lazy parasite who would get money and do nothing for it! The money that he gets from the state can actually be used for someone who really can't get a job. And even if he goes to work, he'll contribute taxes to the state treasury with his work. A thing that apparently wasn't clear to whoever drafted the current labor legislation.
