Also pensioners have to be lonely

Last week I wrote about how people on welfare benefit have to avoid personal relationships in the future due to new legislation. Also pensioners are hit by the interest of the authorities.

When you lose your wife or husband after many years of marriage you might find it difficult to go on. Maybe you want human company. But beware - you have to send them home every evening if you want to avoid losing your pension.

I find it kind of unfair.

Poor unemployed Danes on welfare become isolated people

A new Danish law came into function January 1. The result is that background check on the economy of partner you try to enter a relationship with is very necessary.

A Danish man or woman who is on welfare are required to be housed and fed for free by the new partner if the combined income of both persons will be higher than DKK 23,000 if there are no children.

So a young woman or man will on welfare will not be an attractive partner because the boy- or girl-friend will have to pay from day one.

I predict that Danes on welfare will have to live the rest of their lives isolated from other people. My children will only be allowed to date when I have done the necessary background check into their economy.

Also their choice of school will be interesting. If they choose business school instead of a normal high school the insurance companies have decided that their lives would be of less value. If they become victim of a crime or a traffic accident there would be almost no money for those who are left behind when they have made the choice of less attractive way of business for their future.

When will I learn?

I hurts too much. My stomach, my head.

It was a great evening. Good food. We stayed up to watch the fireworks. We can no longer afford our own because the government has cut early retirement for the Danish citizens.

We also had a lot to drink and we are paying the costs right now. Both the teens are sleeping and I don't expect to see them up on this first day in the new year.

It has been a wasted day. It was the very same last year. When will I learn?

Happy new year to your all!
