If you can find an oval or field or something along your running route you can do most of these though you may have to get creating with finding bars and stuff for chin up and the row. Either way they are body weight exercises that won't cost and thing and will work out pretty much every major muscle group (I'd probably add a plank or some kind of core workout into that if I were you).

Quote from Youwishjellyfish

A single mother with three kids who is working 5 days a week and is reliant on Government handouts to support her family should take it upon herself to lift herself out of poverty? A student that has just finished uni can't find a job and are hit with the harsh reality that their degree is useless and no one will hire them when there is a cheaper alternative/there is no demand for their skill should have to tough it out because they brought this upon themselves? A middle aged man just got made redundant and can't find a new job because he has only ever learn one skill in his life and now it isn't needed should some how save himself while getting fucked with all his usual depts/expenses until he can find a new job?
These a people that aren't ripping off the system, they are ordinary people who have fallen on hard times, why should we make it harder by cutting their hand outs? Sure, I have nothing wrong with whipping the dero fuckers into shape, but not in a way that hurts the average joe.

The mining sector is also making a fuck load of money, they are literally digging it out of the ground, why are we need to hurt people who are already just scrapping by while turning a blind eye to the people that do have money. Yes, it will hurt them, it will most likely piss them off, but they do not need that money any more than the low income earner needs their. This is not fair anyway you look at it.

The ABC is a whole lot more legit than 7, NBN or 10...

Not divorcing/remarriage, starting up small businesses, self-employment, promotions, and child labor can easily remedy that. She has options, and only by repressing businesses can the lack of welfare damn anyone important.

To be honest, they DID bring it upon themselves for not responsibly researching their degree, so survival of the fittest. Self-employment can fix unemployment, high school diplomas can grant you a lot of different non-minimum wage jobs, and minimalism can cut expenses in half to compromise any money not gained in comparison to others.

The world needs more renaissance men. Specialization is for insects, and he devoted his talents to one specialty. That's not pitiful, that's natural selection.

The above examples have summarized it: the "unfortunate" average Joe HAD their chance to prepare for such scenarios and neglected it, be it by not divorcing, choosing the right major(s), or developing talents to fall back on. In the Roaring 20's, every average Joe in America bought on margin and maxed out their credits, then the stock market crashed and everyone got buried by their own idiotic decisions during the Great Depression. It happened then, and the same thing happens every day on a personal level. No matter how decent the unfortunate may appear to be, they screwed up one way or another.
If you wish for the successful to pull their weight for them, then you will only succeed in dragging the wealthy down to their level. Poverty is a bottomless pit- no matter how much money you throw at it, it shall remain- be it by the recipient entering an impulsive spending high, punishing success through high taxes which destroys the incentive to jump off the poverty line, or destroying businesses which decreases their ability to produce which in turn by the laws of Supply and Demand causes all that remains to become unreasonably unaffordable. The only viable solution is to bury your climbing pick in the walls and climb out before you're lost forever. If the successful want to help out, then they can devote their time running soup kitchens, hiring them, or providing housing for the poor.

I never said that I was for or against the mining sector not having to pay for their fuel. To be honest, I was injecting both sides for the sake of reflection. The fact of the matter is that they are using a product, and so said product's taxes should apply to them- I am a firm believer in tax equality among economic entit

Or any less, considering how exorbitant the operations can be. Besides, with all the money they can easily expand to other mines so they can create more jobs. Not only that, but with all that surplus they could probably start giving their existing employees a raise. To top it off, increased production will decrease the prices of goods thanks to the laws of Supply and Demand, hence making things more affordable to the poor. Has macroeconomics taught you anything? The money will circulate back into the market either way, benefiting not just the poor, but everyone.

Comparing one radical source to a handful of others does nothing more than move the goalposts.

haha I liked the part where you smugly asked "Has macroeconomics taught you nothing?" after explaining a principle of microeconomics that wasn't even correct. you sound like your entire life has been nothing but comfortable and you have absolutely no idea what reality is like for people living in poverty. it'd be wonderful if we lived in a world that always rewarded hard work and responsibility with success, but that's never been the case.

Hello! You guys seem like people. :D

But bro, it's so easy.

I'm telling you man, you just have to work hard and give all of your effort. If you take it upon yourself to seize the meager opportunities in front of you I'm sure you can full fill your dream of digging ditches all day for minimum wage.
If this sounded really naive, it's because it is.

That's the exact load of bullshit wealthy people would love for the rest of us to buy into. Why not? If we believe we can get where they are just by working like hell that means we're working like hell.
Using our own aspirations to create an effective work force for their benefit is clever manipulation.

Hm maybe this isn't the best way to explain what I mean.

You guys, it's not my fault I don't take the time to think out and spell check what I'm posting.

How can you expect me to try and properly use the only system I have to communicate with you?

Don't be silly.

Okay, I'm sorry for not using correct grammar.
It's no reason to treat people like complete bitches though.
