After Being Unemployed For Almost 4 Years, I Finally Got A Job This Week

59. Really? So those who are truly suffering need to suffer even more and just give up?

I'm sorry, but the long-term unemployed are not in the position to also take on the onus of trying to change the system while they're at it. That should fall on people who are already gainfully employed, and who aren't spending their time worrying about whether they might be homeless in a few weeks or months.

The long-term unemployed have no choice but to live with the "curse," to play the game as is and to try their best to find work, even if doing so means playing by a set of unwritten rules that is onerous. Yes, we're "going it alone," and that's enough for us to deal with at this time. Let others who are in the position to make sacrifices take on the present system.
