This just pissed me off.

My schools were all the poor schools. My high school was the poor high school that every kid in county, which included about 2 towns and 3 mini-village type places that were effectively a gas station and some houses, went to. We was all poor there. That's how it worked from 5th grade to 12th.
Elementary school? We were poor, so we lived in the poor houses, and the town was divided into school districts. Rich kids in the rich houses went to the rich school, poor kids in the poor houses went to the poor school, and the dirt poor kids in the ratty apartments went to the dirt poor school.
Meant we had a shitty education with bad teachers, old texts/desks/board markers/etc, and nearly all kids had the free lunch. Hell, the cafeteria pretty much served nothing but the free lunch.
>Haha, you fagot, you got the free lunch, poor boy?

Actually it was more of a "sucks to be you" when they kept stealing food from other people because they couldn't afford it themselves and somehow didn't qualify for free lunch.

You must have knocked some woman up, who apparently left and tossed the kid onto you (or she died). Being that she must have been a teenager when she gave birth, she did not see that having a kid would be a financial burden for all of her life.

You see... me and my fiancée have a "no vaginal sex until marriage rule". For her it's because she's fucking mormon (fun fact: it does not break any religious rules for mormons to engage in oral or anal sex, I checked), for me it's a "my waifu doesn't support abortion, if I knock her up I'm fucked."

This game was created entirely from a privileged upper middle class perspective. The protagonist has a useless college degree, lives two states away from his family, and has a kid that undoubtedly came from being a stupid frat boy. His kid is used to caviar and diamond studded sneakers. He can't comprehend the idea of living near his job or basic services.
I say the bastard deserves to struggle.

Actually, yes, if the boss is assumed to be from a big company.

Before my dad even met my mom, he got fired from some renting company because the old boss left and put some new college grad in who wanted to fire the old guys and hide fresh faces.
Now, you can't fire someone for no reason, so they fired him for some inconsequential thing. I think it was some old lady asking they postpone charging her for a day so her paycheck could come in, and they had done that monthly for five months, and the second-in-command guy okayed it, but the boss denied it without telling my dad.
Or something like that.

Anyway, it was a complete bullshit firing job thing, and my dad looked into suing them because it is bullshit and he could make tons of money from it. But no lawyer would accept it because the company was so powerful it could postpone the courtcase until after my dad died of natural causes. I imagine that's what the whole boss firing you for looking into a union thing is about.

That and seriously who the heck starts paying off their credit card debt in the first month they get a new job? Also why the heck do I have a dog and a kid now? I never knew about them! The only pet I ever had was a goldfish. Certainly doesn't cost $50 to get them put down.

>>6941559
Huh?
I've been playing through this game for a couple of times now and the only time that happened is when some other kid throws a ball through your window.

In that case the landlord is liable to repair the damage as it was damage that was not caused as a result of negligence of the tenant. It was an accident from a 3rd party. Legally the landlord has to sue the parents of the child who damaged the window for the damages. Not the tenant. The fact that he was charging you for it, seems just a shade illegal here since, thanks to state law, all apartment buildings have to have some sort of insurance on the buildings themselves (in case of fire or property damage) he's probably getting paid double. Once by the insurance company and once more by you. Which constitutes fraud. Frankly the fact that disturbs me the most is that, you win the case yet have to pay court costs. That's not how it usually goes down.

But I don't have a pet anymore. Is my imaginary child just bringing in dogs off the street now?

> there's a leak in your sink
> 2 option pay a plumber or fix it yourself.

Umm.. landlords are supposed to take care of that for you. The only way they don't have to is if they can prove you've been shoving cherry bombs down the drains. Though with my imaginary kid sneaking in dogs all the time I wouldn't put it past him.

First of all, whenever something either involves a pet, a woman, or a child, i'll pretend whatever fees involved didn't happen, because that wouldn't happen to me.

Next, whenever anything involving a car happens, i'll again pretend it didn't happen, because I'd ride a fucking bike.

Finally, anything involving food wouldn't matter because I don't fucking need to eat anything except bread and water.

But I assume that a 30m² appartment's rent is 800E and that we can't live with a family in a student apartment.

The problem is not the income, it is the increase the cost of housing. Neither my parents or others old peoples that I know could buy their house now.

Oh you have no idea, ever try getting Comcast Internet?
Constantly throttling down your speeds so they can charge you more for uncapped speeds
Pay for the uncapped speeds, it's about 20 kbps faster than what you had before
Turns out you need to get a speedboost too to get full speeds and the extra package where you get cable television and phone service, even though you don't want or need the extra crap.

Oh and there was this one time where thanks to my car breaking down and a bunch of other unfortunate events I didn't have enough to pay for my internet; but I got paid the day after the payment was due so it wasn't a big deal. So I call them up about a week before the payment is due and go "Hey, I've had a whole bunch of crap go down, I'm going to be a day late on my payment, I don't have the money when you need it, but I'll have it the next day. I really can't afford to have my internet turned off so I hope we can make an arrangement to keep it on"

"Oh no problem Mr. Anon, I've made a note in the system so you'll have uninterrupted service"
"Thanks!"

The next day, my cable was turned off. Wouldn't turn me back on till I paid a $25 early termination fee

There is Medicare and Medicaid

Medicare is for the elderly
Medicaid is for the poor.

Medicare is a fairly decent system that has been getting shittier and shittier as the government tried to make it turn a profit (it doesn't).

Medicaid is a giant wall of fuck with so many rules and restrictions it has you pay to go to a free clinic. It's really hard to get a decent doctor, there's way too many forms for them to fill out to get about 1/2 of what they usually charge the only way to get them to do it is be a patient from years ago and get grandfathered in.

Oh, maybe we just have different experiences, I've had an uncle who was on Medicaid. It didn't cover Insulin for his Diabetes because when he applied he entered it as a pre-existing condition on one form but someone hadn't moved that form into the computer yet. So he had to reapply for medicaid by removing himself from medicaid then reapplying, but he couldn't apply since he had already been on Medicaid.

Long story short, everyone in my family agreed to pay 10 bucks a month so he could have his own health insurance.
