Earlier, a netizen posted a post on a Hong Kong discussion forum with the title “Is the quality of life comparable to the original income of 40k per month and CSSA” in four aspects: food, clothing, housing and transportation, comparing the difference between earning 40k a month and receiving CSSA, and finally he came to a conclusion. , receiving Comprehensive Social Security Assistance from the government is better than working part-time. Taking housing as an example, the host pointed out that with a monthly income of 40,000 yuan, there would be financial pressure if he chose to finance the property. The monthly expenditure on renting or paying for property is around 15,000-20,000, which accounts for almost half of the workforce. On the other hand, CSSA recipients have no rental pressure.
The post attracted comments from two groups of netizens. Some even compared their own experiences. The netizen said that he and his family had to live in a 300 square foot public housing unit during the period of unemployment. are criticized by their family members, and their diet is changed every day. For meals, most of them patronize cheap frozen meat shops and eat doll noodles. Since I have no income, I have to be frugal with my clothes, “If I don’t buy clothes, pants, shoes and socks once every few years, they will turn grey.” Perhaps because the public houses are located in a remote location, netizens noted that in terms of transportation, “it takes two minutes to go back and forth every day, bus + subway.”
On the other hand, when work is open, even if you earn 20,000 yuan a month, you can still rent a 500 square foot unit by yourself, have three meals a day, and eat in restaurants quick As for clothes, “I buy shirts and trousers every season, at least all of them are Uniq.” In terms of transportation, netizens rent units from nearby companies to save time and money by traveling to work. When their monthly income reached 30,000 yuan, netizens claimed that they would buy a homestead and a car, and have a place to live after retirement. With extra money, they could also buy a game console for entertainment. Netizens said: “If you don’t wash off 40K, 30K or even 20K is already very different.”
Netizens who think the quality of life of CSSA recipients is frankly better said: “Basically, CSSA recipients live in the same room and get the same food without having to pay for it. You can wake up naturally on after training. If you exercise regularly, you will live longer.” You can earn half your life, and you can earn 80% of your life if you have CSSA.” “Look at how many beautiful cars are in the public housing parking lot.” “In the interest rate hike cycle, mortgage payments continue to rise , but there is no increase in wages or only an increase.
Some netizens also added that many CSSA recipients work as casual workers with daily wages and cash settlements. They have little financial pressure but still have income. “They travel more than you.” Some people also pointed out that there is no need to save money for CSSA, and that there is no need to worry about moving from public housing because of rent increases.” Conclusion: Punish people who work hard.”
The other group of netizens believe that “you have your hands and feet and you don’t do anything.” As well as comparing the material aspect, they also consider mental health. “If you don’t work again, you will become useless and easy. discouraged.” “The place you live in is different.” The quality of the neighbors is very different.” Some people also said: “Actually, it’s faster to travel in a wheelchair, especially an electric wheelchair… When do you limp your own foot? You can still collect disability benefits.”
Some netizens criticized the public housing system for problems, saying, “Hong Kong’s public housing policy: punishes those who do not have public housing,” “Support the government’s reduction of CSSA,” and “It is reasonable to children who misbehave eating sweets.”
