Walmart Set to Close All Stores in Portland amid Record-Breaking Retail Theft

71. I've seen the argument made that kids didn't ask to be born, ergo didn't ask to be wage slaves, ergo

... deserve to be supported by the people who bore them. I mean, it's true they didn't ask to be born and be forced into a capitalist survivalist system.

But birds and bees and horses and trees didn't ask to be born, either, and they at least do something to ensure their survival. However, "success" in the form of a small house and a retirement plan and a little travel and a little leisure is increasingly out of reach for a lot of people whose grandparents were able to comfortably support a family on a single middle-class income, so I really sympathize with their frustration and I can also understand the temptation to just give up.

However, it's not what is probably best for your grandson. The system sucks A LOT but in most cases it's better to try to make the most of it than to do literally nothing. It must be a big worry for everyone who isn't him. I'm sorry.
