Your kids aren't getting the direction from their mother they need. And, those you are trying to help aren't getting good guidance either. Your husband deserves what he's getting from you because he's responsible for helping you be the person you need to be. He's a victim of himself. But, obviously he's tortured as well.
Listen bro,I agree with you substantively the majority of the time. And I disagree with her. But stylistically, your post is a train wreck. I’m not getting personal- but think about what you just said. This woman comes in here boldly every day with her minority point of view knowing she is going to get THE worst treatment from Conservatives. Your comments are WAY over the PT line for long time regular posters. First, she is a woman. Second, she is a mother and wife. Third, it takes courage to come in here day after day with a point of view that she knows she will get hammered for. Give her some respect.
Tone it down. We are friends talking- not blood enemies.

I used it as an example to say "If an educated individual who is well-versed in government bureaucracies finds the idea of navigating multiple agencies in pursuit of a single objective to be daunting, it's possible that other people might view situations in their lives similarly."
If you're too lazy to go through the process, then don't get your car fixed/don't get a driver's license, but then don't play the "woe is me" card later because of your laziness.

I had never heard this term before and had to Google it:
I think it's safe to say you are repulsive as a human being on every possible level.
Edit: probably should have included this bit, which was on the screen at the same time and provided context for those who are also ignorant of the term

Because your Jack-legged thread remains on the first page, I’m somewhat obliged to note that you have no idea what existentialism is and 95% of Poliboard bros would not fit under any banner labeled existentialism (even Kirkegaard’s). But somebody told you that and here we are.

Look, when you talk about people’s spouse and kids it’s a bridge too far. Especially for someone who has been here every day for years. Her kids, man. Her skills as a mother. The character of her husband. That’s progressive shite right there.

Be smart dawg. Her OP was nothing more than a vent. People here picked it apart just to pile on.

I had to look that up as well. Just to make sure I was in the right ballpark.

I’m guessing you’d probably have to go back 2-3 generations to find any significant portion of this individual’s familial livelihood that didn’t largely center around or was not significantly dependent upon “navigating entrenched government bureaucracies.”

It says a lot about the generosity of our welfare state that this young man does not have a job or license (and is apparently not in a rush to solve either) and still has food available and a roof over his head.

I also believe it is one of those systemic issues... but of the community's own making. The options they think they have is sports, rap, or gangs.
How do you take on that systemic issue?
There are examples galore of other humans, even melanated ones, succeeding in life- how do you make them SEE? Or desire it?
I think that's the real issue in a lot of the cases we see. The kids looting the FedEx truck in traffic is a prime example. Those kids didn't just wake up and decide "Instead of going to Bible study I want to do something completely contrary to my lifestyle... Hey! Let's rob that truck!" Kids who think that way and are under the constant influence of their community who either also thinks that way or doesn't put that type of thought/behavior in check, how do you convince them to look beyond what they know and what everyone they know knows?

Shaming antisocial behavior would be a start.
Won't happen though because it's accepted that that IS their culture and culture shaming is taboo.

Why are these mutually exclusive?
Logic.
Either the size of the challenge is stopping you (and thus aligning with your point about the felon in the OP), or the task is so relatively unimportant to you that it just isn’t worth your time to get done (which would be irrelevant to your point about the felon in the OP).
Which is it? The latter is the epitome of privilege. It makes your example about as far as possible as your students situation.
The former makes sense..:except that everyone in the real world knows that handling that situation isn’t hard, isn’t daunting, and being unable to handle it is a sign of mental illness.
Which is it?

quantify how? Just throw out a number?
It seems that every time I ask someone what are examples of systemic issues, I get a myriad of examples that we all deal with. Not saying they do not exist. Just saying that we all deal with them.
Skimming the thread, it seems overgrown bureaucracy is an example your man has dealt with. We all do. It sucks. Only way to get rid of it is not what 99% of the people want to hear unless you are an absurdist like me.
Public transportation is another. Sorry, there is no fix for that. American society decided just over 100 years ago that we wanted houses with picket fences and suburbs and everything like that. Is why our cities and towns are so much larger, area wise, than they are in most other countries. Also makes public transportation almost impossible outside of the CBDs.
But anyway, good luck. I hope the little venting helped....and get that car fixed!
Kudos on the 20 pages and climbing.

I just have to point out the evidence of the low societal expectations of men in this thread. a poster attempted to shame me for not saying that "being a mother" is my favorite job I ever had. How often do men get shamed for not naming "being a father" as their favorite job? How often are men even expected to be fathers?
Then another poster lectured me for showing someone who repeatedly calls me fat on here that I'm actually not fat, without even acknowledging how absurd it is for a grown person to attempt to belittle a stranger by calling that person fat on a political message board.
I'm lectured for not ignoring perpetual insults while the men hurling insults are tolerated without a word (except from my board bestie pimp - check is in the mail).
Why are men held to such low standards?

While i think your intentions may be honorable, you at some point need to accept that the demographic you omitted to name is their own worst enemy. Nothing you or anyone can do to fix that fact. The systemic whatever your whining about is because that demographic doesn't police themselves. The crime statistics don't lie. It isn't whitey's fault. Its blacky's fault. They prey on themselves and others.
