You have control over certain things like getting a job that pays well.

You have control over your financial budget.

You also have control over how many bullshit excuses you make to pretend like everything is completely out of your control.

If you act mediocre, don’t complain about achieving mediocre results.

You have the power to earn more money or spend less.

I guess you didnt know that huh?

Well now you know.

So you mean “yes, it’s good to be a fraud”?

“I have no proof and it’s easier to just continue to blindly assert my claim”

FTFY

It’s good to be a fraud?

Odd sense of morals you have(or don’t have I should say).

“Employers paying less than they are supposed to”

If your employer doesn’t pay you the proper amount, you can easily just report them and the government will force them to pay you along with possible fines. So they’d get screwed over real quick for almost no effort on the workers part.

“Work off the clock”

I don’t understand. Do they hold a gun to the head of the employee or something? How are they FORCING someone to work off the clock?

Because she fraudulently submitted her time?

“Wage theft by employers”

What are you talking about?

Sounds like you didn’t read the article.

Stealing over 50 hrs worth of money is “not a crime” to you?

It was worth $2,746. I feel like stealing such an amount is big enough to deem it a crime.

Wasn’t there also studies done that show that an uneducated and obese mother were the biggest factors in the occurrence of obesity in a child’s future?

No it hasn’t. Hence why this has happened. :’(

Be careful OP, you’re making it seem like people might have to take some kind of personal responsibility.

Redditors don’t like that thought.

What country has zero punishments for committing crime?

You said it’s an out of date concept. Why would something that is rational and reasonably applies to present day be considered “out of date”?

A purely “rehabilitative” justice system would merely be abused by just about every single criminal. There would be zero repercussions.

Many criminals perform a crime because they believe that there won’t be any repercussions. Literally changing the system so there are no repercussions would cause crime rates to explode causing a complete destruction of our society.

I find it humorous how you’ve altered my statement of “the punishment should fit the crime” and molded it towards “children deserve to go to prison with adults”, which is not what I stated.

“The punishment should fit the crime” is an incredibly rational way to approach those kinds of situations.

I didn’t use any religious background rationale to support that phrase. Small crimes getting small punishments and big crimes getting big punishments is very understandable logic.

Damn, it’s almost like the crime performed by the kid had to be pretty heinous huh? Such as a crime that would FOREVER effect the victim?(such as blowing your moms brains out with a handgun, because she didn’t buy you a VR headset).

And since the punishment should fit the crime…….

>Agency isn’t agent-relative but it’s agency itself.

.......lol?

> It’s a possession which everyone has in equal capacity

No, they really don't have an equal capacity. Not hypothetically, realistically, or even in any manner is it equal.

> no justifiable difference exists (you can’t say that one is more free than others)

Agency over oneself compared to not having agency over another entity is a massive difference.

​

There unfortunately seems to be some big lapse in mutual comprehension here.

“The questioner has no reasonable basis to only value only his own freedom”

Of course they have a basis. Placing oneself above those around you is pretty much the rule for all living things. Self-preservation/selfishness over others is a very valid basis. It’s the most fundamental of basis.

Your response(or failure to actually respond to the main point) indicates you understand that what I'm saying is true, but you'd rather waste time using ad hominem attacks instead of putting forth any actually effort for a rational reply. Just because that route is easy for you to do so and walk away while feeling good about yourself. How unfortunate.

Well, if you stopped being poor then you wouldn’t have poor people problems. Sounds pretty logical to me.

Completely over as in “it’s not a law anymore”. Not completely over as in “racism no longer exists”. Racism will probably always exist given how stupid humans are.

As a non-white, I say the biggest issue holding back another non-white here in the US is our propensity for blaming our issues on others and failing to take responsibility for our own choices and actions.

The racism both of my non-white parents experienced along with their parents before them have basically nothing to do with how successful or unsuccessful I am today.

Structural racism? Do you mean like black people needing lower scores to get into colleges compared to white people?

Pretty sure Reddit has recognized such things for some time now.

Where are you getting the idea that someone thinks that the issue is resolved overnight? I’ve never heard of anyone making such a claim. Yet you keep making a point to bring it up sarcastically.

You’re implying that a person who knowingly chooses to do something bad for themselves or a significant other indicates some kind of mental illness.

That claim would also imply that people who smoke have mental issues.
