How's a kid supposed to make money mowing lawns if their parents cannot afford a mower? How are they supposed to do that if they live in the inner city & there

How's a kid supposed to make money mowing lawns if their parents cannot afford a mower? How are they supposed to do that if they live in the inner city & there are no lawns? What if their neighbors can't afford the service? I'm not really sure what you are trying to say here. A safety net is entitlement? How so? What's the correct cutoff here, should we end social security and medicare as they exist today? Are you prepared to retire without either right now (kudos if you are)? Should the US summarily shrug at people with disabilities that can't reasonably work? What will become of them? Homeless? Death? Should their families take care of them? What if they can't afford to? What should people do if they can't join the military? You correctly point out that expenses are _much_ higher now. Is my generation entitled because we generally want a fair wage to pay for those expenses? Are we entitled for desiring the return of unions -- unions that did much to create those high wages out of the exploitation of the 1800's & early 1900's. Have you really thought any of this through? Look, I'm part of this generation you're disparaging. I could wax poetic about how I "pulled myself up by my bootstraps" because I'm doing quite well. But I know it is bullshit, because I've also been fortunate enough to choose the right career, at the right time, and had remarkably few setbacks in life. Also I'm a white male in the US. I'm playing life on easy mode and to say otherwise is a lie. That isn't true for everyone, and standing on your soapbox calling on everyone to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" is both ignorant and dishonest. You've done well in life, but it appears to have bred a stunning lack of empathy.
