That has nothing to do with the relativity of misery, it's just a testament to how miserable their other choices are.

  Yes, but you would rather have them starve. I did some odd jobs as a teenager after school for cash, why is that a bad thing? Is work something that only adults can do?

    > I did some odd jobs as a teenager after school for cash, why is that a bad thing? I think that this indicates a disconnect between your reality and theirs. Whether or not the work improves their condition, comparing what they live through with "doing odd jobs as a teenager for extra cash" sounds a bit like you're not living in reality.

      Of course my reality is different. I just don't see why a teenager working is somehow abhorrent while an adult working is fine.
