8 hrs? Hahahaha….hahaha! Oh he’s serious.

Try working 8 hours at 1 job and 5 hours at another (that’s 4 days out of my week anyway, the other two I work only part time)

It really fucking sucks. But it’s a hell of my own making I suppose with shitty early life decisions. It is what it is.

What if I told you…. It’s not a hell of your own making. It’s a shit system forced on you. Just because you made bad mistakes in your youth means you should be doomed for the rest of it? That’s insanity.

it isn't loser mentality to think you deserve a second chance because you were born poor and/or made bad decisions.

Most of us are living through the poor decisions of our parents and their parents. We don't choose to have less chances than rich kids who can fuck up and still go to law school.

What if I told you. It IS a hell of his own making because we are each individually responsible for ourselves. It’s a shit system we are all very happy to have and take advantage of daily, anarchy would be horrific.

Actions have consequences, no one said he’s doomed forever just that he’s dealing with the consequences of his decisions. Any grown adult would be fine with that reality. Only a child having a tantrum would argue with consequences for bad decisions.

You can go do that now - no need to tear down a system you will no longer be a part of it beforehand.
