    What causes you to go to school? Generally a hope to fulfill your basic survival functions these days, like eating, safety, and temperature regulation. Are those needs choices?

    And what causes having those needs? Being born. Was that one’s own choice either?

    I think this argument won’t work well on those who came of age when a highschool degree would cut it, but it is logically rather sound based on present realities.

      I’m a younger millennial and went to school and got a degree. No debt. It’s a choice.

        I love this argument. Absolutely no empathy for anyone who had different options and experiences, just straight up “I did it so anyone else can too.” You’re making the world a better place. /s

          I can have empathy for people in different situations than me, but it’s not my responsibility to bail them out of their problems.

            What’s your opinion on bailing out Mega Corporations who didn’t responsibly save their money? Or is it ok to bail out Mega Corps but not ok to bail out your mechanic?
