Who knows why the kid's dad refused to help. The old man might be an out of touch ding-aling or he might be near broke himself. I know of quite a few situations where it was the kids keeping mom and dad from winding up in the street. Even though some people have kids and age they never grow themselves. Some just live in a fantasy world period because the day thus far has never come to shake them into reality.
I would also say the way the game is rigged today is it is hard to save money and that is figuring in conservatism in terms of meals and transportation. I challenge anybody here to put themselves in the position of the kid where they have to pay rent and insurance, buy food, and make a vehicle payment off his salary. The world is far different than it was a generation or two ago. Most jobs pay minimum wage which is alright if you do not have to be the breadwinner in the house and just looking for grocery and spending money. Nearly all the good paying jobs around here are taken with the people in them not going to quit until death or retirement. It don't matter what you think of a place when you walk in you usually see the same faces even if the owner or manager is a turd. It has to be brutally bad to see turnover. I used to think a lot like quite a few in that if people tried hard enough they would succeed but I am one of a growing number that feels there is a fundamental problem nowadays in a person being able to make a living without walking the tightrope over Niagara Falls so to speak.

Today's Featured Article - New Life for an Old Allis - by Tyler Woods. My friend Jon, has an old '39 Allis Chalmers B. He thought it a marginal tractor that had long since served its time. She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
