    No, the idea that everyone else is responsible for YOUR KID is a HUGE part of what's wrong with this world.

    My wife and I are responsible for our daughter. It's nice to have help, but NO ONE else is OWES her ANYTHING.

    The entitlement mentality is disgusting...

    That's fucking stupid. The world owes you NOTHING.

    The parents that created and gave birth to you may owe you a living till your 18, but no one else does.

    Unless you want to give the world the right to tell you if you can have sex and reproduce....

    You also need to have REALISTIC expectations for what you can afford and your "standard of living". If you do unskilled manual labor, do NOT expect the same standard of living as a trained professional.

    You need to live with in your means. That means no new car every year, no cable TV, no new smartphone every year with mega data plan, no fancy dinners and designer clothes, etc.

    You can't afford to live just anywhere you want, just because you want to.

    There are jobs if you took the time to learn a skill or a trade instead of thinking your could goof off and just get lots of money for it.

    Yeah, like the wealthy (who control the congress and president) are going to allow that.

    And where and who is that "basic income/Universal Social Security" that come in whether you work or not going to come from? Hint, no one is going to support it, and you what happens if suddenly everyone does get it? Prices jump as businesses see that people have more money to spend.

    You have to change basic human nature before you can fix the system.

    Sorry, but no one is going to pay for you, you have to grow up and take responsibility for yourself instead of expecting others to pay your way.

    Depends on the job. If it's something anyone with a pulse can do, then there's no real skill or reason for great pay.

    Supply and demand exists in the employment market too....

    " "I'd like a fair day's pay for my hard work," Adam Shahim, a 40-year-old driver from Pittsburgh, California, said in a statement."

    Then get a real job for a real company rather than an Internet-Ride-Share-gone-corporate hobby (you aren't an Uber "employee", there's part of your problem right there).
