They potter around beautiful gardens, dabbling in art to exhibit at the next 'konstrunda' ... and/or trade unofficial odd jobs in a complex local quasi-barter economy involving the local farming community ...
Thought this was a very bizarre way of running a national economy ... not a single 'stress ledig' person I've met appeared the slightest bit stressed ... quite the contrary ... they all seemed to think they had life sorted ... difficult to argue otherwise! ;o)
Do you think your over-simplistic accusation will make them acknowledge that they are cheats or will tip them over the edge perhaps? Maybe the latter is your intention - after all, suicides don't cost the taxpayer as much as f-kassa payments.

suggest relaxation ... it's the weekend :-)
Maybe its down to running back and forth to all these pointless meetings and coffee breaks.
