You know we can just literally choose to not have this problem, instead of buying into other people's narratives.
>Not once did anyone raise any alarms about, maybe these young people shouldn't go into this line of work
Actually plenty of people do. It's just not a very thrilling subject to the U.S. populace.
Try saying this after a few months of lockdown, when a severely damaged economy leads to food shortages, and printing money does nothing to help.
If one poorly-chosen element is labelled as a "non-essential business", it can cause all the other metaphorical Jenga blocks to collapse.
What a ridiculous statement.
how can people facing financial ruin right now choose not to have it?
The feasibility of succeeding at that is a different thing than your question.
Especially considering that we've already passed the largest economic bailout/safety net measures in world history in a matter of 3 weeks, and it looks like more is on the way. It would seem that "society" is doing its best over here given the realities of the situation, theoretical Kumbaya ideals aside.
For a gun analogy, I go with it's like if someone said "We could choose to make it much more difficult to own a handgun" and then someone fired back with a rejoinder about that not helping the people getting shot right now. The rejoinder doesn't address the statement.
No, you can't. Goods and services are scarce, legislating them to every person in a country does not lead to everyone getting them.
