if being an asshole made people unhireable, we'd have to pay them welfare, which is even worse than giving them a job.

@thor yeah that's one of the problems with welfare. Making it not apply to people who don't have a job purely because of being assholes, super lazy, super picky, kleptomaniacs etc has the double benefit of pressuring them to change and not forcing honest working people to support them. Though of course the problem lies in deciding who deserves it and who doesn't, since it's near-impossible to sensibly implement as policy and awful when left to the judgement of officials.
