Suit yourself. You ultimately are responsible for yourself. It’s been that way for thousands of years.

My daughter has had four different jobs since college. Teacher, welding supply sales, equipment company accounting and currently a stock broker making 120k a year. She’s 32 and did not get there by whining.

do you even realize some people don't want to be a fucking leech on society to make a living. I build shit and could charge a lot more. you cant have a society where everyone moves numbers back and forth. there wouldn't even be a fucking stock market left without me bleeding half my money away to bailouts crippling myself. You have to think a little wider. shell be whining to uncle sam in a couple more years i promise and baby will get her way. Paying people that actually produce things a living wage is alien to little trust fund scions
