    Someone was saying that there is no dole in Italy for people who have never worked so how do all the young unemployed people over there survive?

    They live at home till the govt pays them to leave at age 36

    There's none in Spain either. You don't work, you don't get dole. The concept of the government giving unlimited welfare to people who have never worked a day in their lives is pretty alien in most cultures. That's not a judgement, BTW, just a fact.

    You don't need dole in Italy because the climate is perfect for growing the fruits and berries that go into making jams and marmalades - if you end up with no job you just go into the jamarmalade racket.

    Interesting fact: Mafia translates into 'Jam Makers'.

    The mafia started over the lemon trade in Italy iirc.

    I support this supportive thread for Blackcurrant jam, obviously the best jam.

    A vote for Blackcurrant is a vote justice.

    They're made swear a jam oath too. They use a knife to cut a slice bread into a perfect circle, carefully spread the jam, and if the Don is pleased with his sambo you'll be a marmalade guy.

    Strawberry jam stinks of 1986. We need to move forward and embrace the future.

    It's a bright, promising future full of transparent leadership, free healthcare for all, and pp for everybody.
