And the amount you get is only so much. Now they're saying that yuh betta tek de wok, regardless of what it is an how far away it deh.

How's one supposed to take a job 50km away from home whe pay next to nutn and manage to find de money fi gas?

As far as I know, there's an ei surplus, or at de very least, there's no deficit. If people pay into it, den dem mus get dem money. Telling dem dat dem betta go tun dishwasher or drive school bus caw dem a go cut back pon dem ei is [censored]!

I would love to not work November to April too </div></div>
if you really want to do that take a job as a fruit picker for $10 an hour.

the line dem selling is as if these people jus quit dem job when the weather get cold or as soon as dem work long enuff to qulifiy for Ei. the trith is the luck to even find the little seasonal work out in dem place.

what yuh goin to see is them go on welfare instead.
