On Young, Privileged, and Applying for Food Stamps
@NJB Exactly! If you are an able-bodied, educated person, as the writer clearly is, and you choose to make substantially less money then you are capable of because you want to be a writer or the like, why should I have to subsidize that?

Karina, someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries.

On Young, Privileged, and Applying for Food Stamps
@Username Where do you see the term "lifestyle" in my post? My point is just that the author of this piece has made a choice to A) live in a very expensive city and B) pursue a difficult career path. Not to be needlessly harsh, but if the job market here is telling her no, maybe she should listen, instead of asking for a hand out. Ultimately it would reduce economic and social distortion in both the Brooklyn media market and Omaha real estate market.

I like this piece and generally sympathize with you, but part of the reason you're unable to find work is because you've chosen to look in a hyper-saturated market (New York + Media) that's not very meritocratic. I think society should subsidize people's lives, but not their dreams. Maybe you should just move to Omaha and sell real estate.
