I agree-these fragile little wusses have no concept or self reliance-never mind that they are not in any way resourceful if they lack basic survival skills like how to obtain their own food instead of depending on others foe handouts...
In my college days, only those students from super affluent families didn’t work-the rest of us slaved away either full or part time-mostly in low-skilled jobs. I did the cocktail waitress thing because the tips were the best, even if the hours were long and the pace hectic at the bar-and-supper club where I worked, I loved leaving at 2AM with as much as $150.00 in my hot little hands.
After school and rent were paid there was still money for ramen noodles, hamburger helper and some ground beef, hot dogs, a few cans of tuna-or if you didn’t want to cook, the burger joint with the $.99 burger and fries-or First Mate fish place with the $1.99 menu-choice of 2 fish fillets, 6 oysters or 6 shrimp-all fried and with a side of hush puppies and cole slaw. I can’t imagine anyone I knew begging for food from someone-as a last resort, you could always get an invite to a relative’s, or a friend’s parents’ place at least every week or two...
I went to school in Florida. Between the neighborhood fruit and avocado trees, fishing for sea trout in the Indian river off the bridge, and the Piggly Wiggly for oatmeal, grits, rice, and beans, I sure never went hungry. Maybe $10 per week.
