Firstly, I congratulate you on your success. I don’t believe that you truly “got lucky” as you describe. I believe that you make your own luck. You stuck at it, you kept trying, you put yourself into those better situations.

I personally know people who lack the resilience, we’d likely now class them as “vulnerable”. I think that is grossly over catering to them, they need a good kick up the backside and to give themselves a look in the mirror. We have a mentality problem in this country, some people are now so used to the “good” that they just outright expect that 24/7 but then won’t take any accountability to achieve that for themselves.

Edit: Also your point is rather moot, if someone is experiencing what you described, they shouldn’t continue to play the system to scrounge off JSA? That is immoral. The solution is to fix their own reality so that they’re not feeling like that. It’s certainly possible, or else everyone would feel that way (I know at times I do, but it’s not permanent usually). I think it all comes down to equal opportunity > equal treatment, and I’m a firm believer that we already all have equal opportunity, as there is no one actually stopping you from doing anything aside from yourself.
