Are you seriously attempting to suggest that our unemployment crisis is due to poor people choosing the wrong majors? Jobs that pay a decent wage just don't exist anymore, and that has exactly jack fucking shit to do with what type of undergrad degree a person has.
I just want to point out here that I used to work at Barnes & Noble with a guy who was in his early 30s and had a PhD. He wasn't management, he sold books at the counter for barely above minimum wage.
That's just shameful.
Obviously the vast majority of people know it is from sex, but I think you'd be surprised as the misconceptions uneducated young people have about how and when you can get pregnant, and what can be done to prevent it. Then there's optimism of youth, combined with a genuine lack of understand about how much it will…
Yeah, here it is. They say a whole bunch of gross stuff, but the fridge quote specifically is in the third block quote down.
Yes. I am arguing that. I am arguing that until we have perfect access to all contraceptives and safe, legal, and local abortion for all, and until rape and marital rape and child rape no longer exist, and until we give a SHIT about the babies that are born after the are born, then we don't get to tell any woman…
Those aren't worse case scenarios. They're reality for many, many people. People get sick. Spouses leave and you're stuck caring for your kids as a single parent. People die. Parents get old and need to be taken care of. People are laid off from jobs they've worked in for decades, and then can't find anything else.…
How is the average young person from a poor background supposed to make any kind of informed decision about having children when they've been kept in the dark their entire lives about how their bodies even work, thanks to either "abstinence only education" or substandard sex education?
Im sure most single moms planned it out that way.
Wait, they were implying that having a fridge is somehow a luxury? That's insane.
You think what i mentioned was the worst case scenario? Wow! Those are everyday normal scenarios. For every day normal people. They are not exceptions to the rule.
Yeah, the luxury policing people do drives me mad. A while ago, rush Limbaugh or glenn beck or some other unexpressed anal gland was going on about how 98% people below the poverty line have a fridge, and that's a sign we're...I don't know, coddling them or some shit? Like there's someone out there going "well, I…
I don't know about that... I don't go into McDonald's or other fast food places often, but when I do, it seems like a lot of the employees are middle age or older. About half of them. I know a lot of people think of jobs like that as "starter jobs," but there are a lot of people who aren't teens or young adults who…
Four years ago, I hit a really low point in my career, lost my job, ran out of funds and found myself surfing couches. To get enough funds to get my business back off the ground (freelancer) I took a minimum wage job. I was working over 40 hours a week and my take home barely $250. I was debt free at the time and it…
Oh, I know there are people having to find a way to live on that much money. That's why it's so ridiculous for McDonald's to just cavalierly mention your second part time job, just to come up with enough money to create a budget using grossly underinflated numbers.
I do this kind of budgeting with my income (I make more than a McDonald's employee, but not much). After rent, bills, and student loans I have $13 a day to spend. I have no children, no health insurance, and no car. I'm not sure who the fuck McDonald's thinks they're kidding.
And hey, if I'm tiny enough for all that, I'm sure food will cost me barely anything at all, and I can clothe myself with scraps of extra cloth, like a house-elf.
Maybe if you live in a house for ants and you drive an ant car and use an ant phone and an ant TV.
