When my kids were younger, I had a friend with a kids in high school. Her daughter used to babysit my kids, so she always had money. Her son looked at his little sister with more money than him, and got a job.
But, fast food is taxed wages. They told him, and the mom that every penny he made belongs to family income. And, and that he a 17 yr old high school student needed to turn in his weekly pay stubs. A high school kid! He ended up moving out while still in high school because while he lived at home, he was doing damage to the living situation.
But, as aoon as he moved out, HE was elgible for housing, food stamps, medical etc. But, his tiny part time check while he was living with his mom in high school would have been stolen from him. The city pretty much kicked that boy out, and then said poor baby I'll help you now that you're suffering.
I was, and still am pretty angry about that situation. He ended up moving up the street with a friend who was having the same problem. Who in their right mind expects a teenager to work for free for the adult bills in the family?
I like to think of myself as "in my right mind," and you bet your ass that my kids are going to be giving back to the household in a few years as soon as they are able. I find it bizarre that this is somehow outrageous to you.
Where I live, kids are expected to help with the home work around or before age 10. Then chores, including outdoor work, including outdoor charity work for the neighbors and the elderly, around 10-12. As soon as they can find outside work, they do, and it would be retarded for a 14, 15, 16-year-old to have control over their own finances, or for all of their income to be their own, while all their food, health, education, and shelter is still being subsidized by mom and dad.
When they're old enough to start thinking about a car, they'll pay part or hopefully most of it, if not all. If they go to post-secondary, their expenses are their problem, minus whatever we've socked away in accounts for tuition (which they've contributed to).
This is not a quinceanera pretty prince-and-princess culture. We don't raise Little Lord Fauntelroys who go away to faggot college so they can live childless adult lives in a faraway City drinking craft IPAs and boba, eating bibimbap, sitting behind a desk sending emails to other indoor cats all their lives, thus ending family lines.
Could be! Though that sounds kind of like a faggot job, probably more desk-surfing, and I should hope not. Veterinary would be nice, there's a lot of need for that around here. Folks around here don't really expect to "get" a job, they mostly make them. If I get my way, we'll build them homes after we expand the property, which we can use some of the money saved from their teenager jobs for.
I understand you're being ironic. Do you find that fun?
during the lockdowns everyone in the building I was able to get into had government checks and also full benefits including disability and aside from the 2 others with jobs had unemployment for the jobs they didn't have but claimed no longer existed due to the lockdowns
Happens everywhere, buddy of mine refused a raise because it would put him over the income limit for his subsidized housing.
A $0.25/hr raise would have lead to their rent increasing from $900/mo to over $1400/mo.
They are one of the only people in that housing area that actuall has a job and isn't a fatass single mom.

Feminized bureaucrats are the worst

And they'll buy a new home on a single income from a job they got from a firm handshake and a tucked-in shirt, I'm sure.

Yeah, just drive your sons to suicide, why not?
It's sad that you think massive fragility and helplessness is a natural state of being.
Uh huh.
Joke's on him, though. Don't they only check when you sign the renter's agreement?
Sadly they do not, annual reviews are a thing in those types of programs.
