Ya I get what u mean.

We should pay attention to the warning signs now tho. That these types of things are happening. Store shelves going bare. Workers that should be fired being held on board just cuz no one else will take the jobs... it's not good.

I would have taken a lot of those jobs "I was not qualified for though". Tho that is b.s. a lot of jobs I was over qualified for I just didn't have the right "papers".

Easy for you to say when you're not the person who has to live that way.

'Should' is a monstrous word as we transition to a service and information economy.
I understand that not everyone is set up the same way in life. Life isn’t fair and people with 2 supportive parents who are financially well off will likely have an easier start in life than those that don’t

But also, we have to suffer the consequences of our own choices in life, and passing on higher education/tradeskills or dropping out of school or picking a degree in a field with limited opportunity due to not researching ahead of time are some of those consequences

Success or failure is not a singular event. It is a campaign of choices

Others should be punished and you should be rewarded.

Tell me brother, what do you do for your comfort and vittles? What is the exchange?

If you make poor life choices you ARE punished, it’s not a should or should not. We can’t deny reality as much as Dems would like. If I choose to drink alcohol everyday there is no question of whether my liver should get cirrhosis

Your life is a reflection of the choices you make

As mammals our time and effort. Thousands of years ago, if we didn’t do that well we simply died. And in many poor underdeveloped countries that is still how things are. Now in America, we have safety nets of things like free healthcare and free food stamp programs to keep humans who are unable to provide for themselves alive

But if we make poor choices, we are not going to live at the same standard as others who don’t. However like I mentioned before, we will still by virtue of being in America are living better than most of the planet. Considerably light years ahead. Having access to clean fresh water and sanitation alone is a standard of living far beyond what many in other parts of the world have

Nothing is free m8 not even that free health care you speak of.

And it often is simply palliative allowing the corporation providing that "free" Healthcare to continue charging for services while the patient slowly flounders and eventually dies.

And what do the workers you say 'should' have to live with roommates trade?
