Nobody claimed life is fair.

And?

If someone at Massey had chosen to leave, they could have done so after finding a new job, or sought whistleblower protection, etc.

So you really are saying that someone who quit Massey should be unable to get food stamps?

I bore the consequence of my decision, without expecting the rest of the world to pony up.

That’s great. Why is that at all relevant? Is this not a practical thing for you, but just an ideological deal?

I am not engaging in hyperbole.

Yes, you were. This:

Are you proposing that everybody get whatever they ask for, sight unseen?

Is hyperbolic. or you seriously think i’m proposing that everyone gets ‘whatever they ask for’, which is simply insulting my intelligence.

I would simply like to know if you see any boundaries at all for geting public assistance, or whether the concept of personal responsibility and consequences exist in your thinking.

What the fuck, dude? Deny that you’re being hyperbolic, and then say that I don’t even believe in personal responsibility?

Do you understand that you just did that?
