I just went on SS, does that make my Wife and I social parasites? I kind of like the idea actually. I've taken to calling myself a "boat bum". Maybe now I can expand it to Social Paracite:Boat Bum.
I think an argument that most of us are social parasites could be made. If talked about useless jobs elsewhere. How better to describe a social parasite than someone who has a useless job?
Although I do think those jobs have a purpose, "welfare with dignity". It's just a wealth distribution system. Which sounds pretty close to the "waste distribution system" mentioned above.
