Things are starting to look hopeless over here.

What are these "social" circumstances»?

Portugal here. Tuition is 500€ per semester. There are government subsidies for those who can't afford it, though. Our minimum wage is absolute garbage though.

Ahah what distinguishes the "regular" lazy people from people with such a disorder that makes them have no drive to start any kind of activity, like you said? And what do you do to help them try to change that?

I'm 100% sure many people in industrial jobs in germany make more than Kevin as well. Assuming we're not talking about the most menial, no experience wathsoever industrial jobs here. He is still a resident, nonetheless. Like he said, he hasn't even been in his field for 5 years. And his taxes already account for his retirement savings as well.

Also, free healthcare. I know it's hard to wrap your head around that, but it makes a huge difference. In the US you can go nearly bankrupt just for taking care of your health. You know, the most important thing for you to be able to pick up your worthless sack of bones and go to work to make a living. It's inhuman, dude! The best and only way to completely avoid health concerns is being dead! Waking up in the morning everyday is like a fucking lottery, ffs!
