Constructive Labelling

NSFW is an acronym that indicates
that the content that follows is openly sexual,
cruel, or otherwise lacking in decency and taste.
It is employed to warn users of the internet
of content which is likely to soil, or corrupt,
their minds, particularly when viewed repeatedly.
Many users actively enjoy such corruption.

But in these times of  high unemployment
and employment being high tech and remote
with management apparently automated
I wish employers would redeploy the letters
to tell governments that the ill should stop
apply for jobs and be left on benefits;
the gain for the rich scapegoating the poor,
whether said poor are worthy or unworthy,
is no longer enough to make it worth the poor
applying for jobs they were never going to get.

Employers and government should, instead,
let the illness of the ill be proof of their unworthiness;
let them be safe, kept cheaply at a distance far enough
from the rich so that the poor can get on with being poor
without false exepectations of change being raised.
