Yet every adult working at a job was at one point a teenager. The first time they have to punch a clock and say "yes sir" to someone giving them an attitude shouldn't be when they are starting their first job at 24.

The first situation has three people with jobs, while the second only has two. Plus the people who only have skills worth $10 an hour can find a job in the first situation, where they can't in the second.
But the personal attacks have started, so I'm out on this thread.

You seem quite invested in authoritarianism and suffering. >But the personal attacks have started Methinks thou doth protest too much.
- thoughtpalette 13y agoI'm surprised at the self-delusional replies to your comments. You've laid out very reasonable points and have received very abrasive feedback. Seem's the way HN's been going. Regardless, there are no references for either argument in this comment thread.
