My only reason for going to a kibbutz was because I thought the weather would be nice and I'd seen a picture in a magazine of an Israeli girl in army uniform.

Having been skint,depressed,divorced,bordering on suicidal,,etc...With the benefit of hindsight,the worst thing for any individual is isolation..More so than being skint in my opinion..I have done the working for agencies/12 hour nightshift at drop of a hat,being sacked etc....And the worst thing in the world is being sat at home for long.

I gather they're disappearing now as the younger generations aspire to better things. Great concept though and probably communism in it's purest form. I can't remember the exact figures but it was something like 10% of the population were responsible for 90% of GDP such was the efficiency.
I lived on one for about 9 months in the 70's, picking fruit, working in the cotton fields, milking cows, tending my small marijuana plantation in a secret location up on the Golan Heights, turned out it wasn't that secret because the Israeli army discovered it. Any spare time was mainly taken up with drinking, shagging, and keeping my head down when questions were asked about marijuana plantations.

Wrong

Explain to me how an unemployed person will travel to a farm, pay for accomodation, pay for childcare and still have anything left over after earning min wage.

Why have they got children if they can't afford them?

(Clue: it starts with benefits and ends with system)

Many provide piece work, so good earnings is possible. Well above the min wage. And many provide transport.
And many provide free accommodation on the farm.
Some 90,000 positions need to be filled, many in just a few weeks’ time.

Pretty much no-one can "afford" children, if they sit down and scrawl some numbers on a bit of paper. And yet,

.....many of us do, and do it with our own efforts, brains, sweat, and sacrifices.

And I for one do not regret a single second of any of the last (almost 18 years) of it.

Actually, it used to be good money if you could handle the pace, it could be back breaking but if you were physically capable and fast, you could earn a good wage.

I think you keep forgetting where we are at the moment.

3rd time of asking. What's the answer to the problem we have here and now?

Notch this question is for you
