Kudos to you!
Reading people with an outlook like that young lady really bothers me.
Granted, she is getting no help from a government that is bound and determined to destroy the profit motive and make work even less profitable and more difficult, but...
If you allow that to determine your happiness, you will never be happy. And she sounds like she views a job as a right, not a privilege/opportunity, and that she is entitled to “things”. That is the exact opposite of how I view it.
I have always held the view that I am entitled to nothing that is in the control of other people, because that is a recipe for unhappiness.
I do actually feel a degree of sympathy, because...it sounds like her ethic is already set it cement, and it isn’t going to change.
