    And no child chooses to be born.

    And no child has to stay. You always have an exit.

    The world doesn’t you things just because you exist. And frankly, there are millions of starving folks who do work hard who are probably more deserving of stuff than some of the most privileged people in human history complaining “I don’t wanna work!” We have it better than all but a tiny fraction of a percent of all the humans who have ever lived and still we complain about having to work occasionally to live our lives of comparative luxury.

      Yes, a whole lot of people work hard, and don’t get meaningfully compensated for it. But it’s not about people on small amounts of welfare vs. the working poor (who also might be on welfare), that’s not where you’re going to find the wealth that’s been stolen.

        Heya, just a heads up, I think you meant to respond to someone else’s comment!

        Didn’t want to leave that other person hanging.
