Sad b/c teachers really don't get rewarded monetarily enough, and OOP is acting like that's some kinda lucrative career that would provide enough even for that.

Wouldn’t it have been nice to get Bernie’s medicare for all, with vision and dental coverage, so people fresh out of college with their likely first real job don’t need to ask their shitty ass parents for help?

It would be nice if boomers and older Gen Xers would stop cashing out and then blaming millennials and zennials for the inflation being out of control and the economy not being the monolith it was in the 1980's. You know, the 80's during which that little tech boom thing happened right around the time a famous actor got elected president and immediately started de-regulating everything under the sun so that huge corporations could start squeezing employees and consumers like the chattel they are, thereby inflating the value of goods, services, and land.

To be fair... On the one hand, publicly complaining about the upbringing of your own daughter is just bad, but on the other...

When you're 24 years old with your own (presumedly good) income and you want a non critical operation done, shouldn't you try and finance that yourself?

Came here to say this.

Yeah there are a lot of possible nuances here.

LASIK can be optional, but there are a lot of situations where it can make a huge difference depending on her eyesight issues.

Teacher salary is NOT good in most places. And at 24 she's entry level. Could be making less than enough to really live on, depending on CoL in her area.

Add in that as a teacher she likely has student loans to pay on... At least until she can get through the system and get on the public service repayment option. I think they were trying to improve it but last time I tried to get on it the system was less than ideal to work with

Shouldn't goverment finance healthcare?

Wait, wrong country.

Finace yourself? In this economy?!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Government should do that fully, even lasik, in my opinion, but this is the US, so yeah.

I just tried to make the argument that the woman has a point, at that age you should show some responsibility for your own life

Are there any countries where LASIK is covered?

Dude this is like every post on the estranged parents sub on reddit... they really are oblivious to the fact that their kids have good reasons to hate them

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

I only pay made-up fake bills, no real ones

What does "lol" mean in this context?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Lots of love as usual.
