Reply to: Benched Contractors Fund

[lightng]

Rather than creating fund to help ourselves, we should be looking to help the REALLY poor. Lets face it, we're richer than 90% of the population - even those of us on the bench.

To get the ball rolling, I've created a charity, Contractors Against Severe Hardship. All donations will be well spent. Please send your donations to me in the form of a company cheque. The charity name is fairly long, so to save you time, simply make the cheque payable to C.A.S.H.

Cheers,
Lightng.

hey you lot,

what about you all pay into a 'benched contractor's fund' and if I'm ever on the rock n roll I'll draw down from it

obviously, the amount one draws will be relative to the amount on has paid in

perhaps, considering the number of potentially interested parties, somebody, PCG or someone could productise this ?

could be a runner

A fantastic idea! Please can I have my "benefits" as a percentage of what I've contributed?

Only if you can get yourself preggers without knowing who the father is.

HTH

[Mich the Tester]

I've got an even better idea!

How about we call this donation "tax" and instead of giving it to a bank, we'll entrust it on something we'll call "government", then if the worst should happen and we can't find work, we can draw down on this fund and no one need suffer hardship. Brilliant. We could call it "benefits".

May we call you ‘Gordon’ from now on?

[milanbenes]

yes I was thinking of the EU model :-)

In the name of "fairness" those who haven't contributed get 1st dibs.

The less you put in, the more you can take out.

Looks like they have trained the Office Cat to change tapes.
Packs of Sheba are obviously cheaper than the Matabele Gumbo Beans that milan gets paid in.

[DiscoStu]

I think it's a great idea. Can I pay in for 2 months and spend the next 30 years on the bench?

[Drewster]

Careful Mich, you'll have BGG on here ranting about Freemasons again!

Meeee-OWWWWWWW!

[Churchill]

It all sounds very nice and cuddly but essentially you’re asking me if I want to subsidize my competitors. I don’t want to do that.

Now Churchill’s point about helping out a mate is a different matter; that’s good moral behaviour.
