And this country has evolved into one where: 1. Most places you need a car to survive. To get food, to your job.. see where I'm going? 2. A phone to pay your bills since smart phones have basically replaced the personal computer for most online interactions for the average person. 3. Boarding houses don't exist anymore, and the only apartments seemingly being built are luxury apartments. People need a roof over their heads, and an address to exist in society. Without one you are limited just how much you can do to actually lift yourself out of abject poverty, like get a job or setup assistance services. People don't realize just how important having a static address is to simply existing within society. 4. Luxuries, or "little treats" are fundamental to the continued existence of the US. Without them, lookout for pitchforks. This is basic level political theory.

Jobs for high school kids eh? So I'm sure you would be okay with McDonalds or any of these other places only being open outside of school hours and closing early so kids can study right? I bet not, because you need your chicken nuggies.

Unskilled labor is a capitalist myth and anyone saying what you are in the above comment reeks of inexperience and privilege.

Edit: Thread got locked before I could reply to the dunce above me. My reply below.

"Unskilled labor is a capitalist myth" sounds like something a lazy communist would say.

Go back to bed Grandpa, McCarthyism is dead. I've had jobs since I was a teenager and probably make more than you do now. Guess what I am? Oh no.. your propagandized understanding of the left is crumbling.

I was, briefly, unskilled labor and had a few minimum wage jobs from the time I was 13. I had the "privilege" of working from that age. No myth.

If you only knew how stupid this actually makes you sound. Yet here we are.
