I’d love to see the attitudes in here if the government mandated that you all had to live with your ill-advised choices you made as young people.
Teenage friends pressure you into shoplifting? You’re a life long thief, can’t turn back. Joined the military and want to get out? Too bad, you’re a lifer. Tried cocaine and it scared you? Too bad, you’re a mandated addict. Married to someone who turns out to be toxic? Too bad, divorce is illegal. Started a career you despise? Too bad, you’re doing it until you retire. Identity stolen because you clicked on a link in some email? Too bad, just gotta live with it, can’t recover your money, your credit score, none of it.
