The person in the story might has well have been me
- I repeated 7th grade
- Was suspended Multiple times
- Lived in 11 different houses
- Lived with a teacher for two months
- Good friend murdered
- Mom of good friend murdered by their Father
- Gnarly parents divorce with police etc regularly
I joined the AF because I read a book about John Boyd and figured I could pursue technology that I saw in the movies so I got out
What could the govt have done? The question is incoherent.
Are they going to make my toxic narcissistic parents stop being that way?
No, I needed a family and community to take care of me. So unless you believe government = collective community then there’s nothing the govt can do but stop letting businessmen and conservatives keep standing on our necks
- bglazer 3y agoI mean you did join a government organization that provided a (more or less) guaranteed job and training. Also, this is a genuine question, how much of the chaos in your life was due to financial hardship? Do you think just having more money would have lessened the chaos?
- AndrewKemendo 3y agoIt’s far from a guaranteed anything actually but I understand your point that we can have a robust government that is useful as a bridge to the middle class - and that’s exactly what it is in a lot of cases Impossible to tell unfortunately but it doesn’t seem like it in my case
