      True, but it’s super frustrating that OP just accepts that being poor right out of school is a typical thing for families, so it’s okay. Like, fuck no, it’s not okay and it hasn’t been. Instead of an excuse, it should be a call for change.

        They didn’t say it was OK, just that it has been the case forever, which makes the article essentially pointless or at best like the Mitch Hedberg joke “I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too”

          I disagree, it seemed like they were saying it was okay by the way they worded it. Maybe not okay, but just the way it is.

          On another note, what is your username in reference to? Is it a show I"m not familiar with or maybe the constellation?

            Indirectly the star system / black hole, by way of the two Rush songs about it (well, one about it, then the other about a Greek-inspired mythological tale set in it)

              Oh cool, that’s a fun rabbit hole to go down. Thanks for the links.

                If you’re new to Rush (or prog rock in general) those may be a bit much… Here’s a more accessible one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LXKZq0fYDw

          Pretty much. Some people here seem to be having a hard time with reality.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.
