I'm guessing they didn't want to pay an agency worker more to cover her shift.

No such thing as agency at fast food jobs here. You call out and your shift either works short or calls in someone else who is supposed to be off. Having 0 labor protections is amazing.

Would you like extra fries for a dollar more?

No, but how much for the kid?

Why is a 17 year old having kids?

Do you have any idea how intentionally bad sex ed is in places?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

places = u.s.a for those that didn't know

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, this post is referencing the US but if you think that's the only place sex ed is non-existent you're very mistaken.

Life happens. A mistake of heaving sex too early doesn't mean that caring for a child and loving them is a mistake.

And abortion not allowed.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As somone who had kids and loves kids, it absolutely is a mistake. It doesn't mean she can't / won't love the kid, but we need better sex ed and contraceptive accessibility for everyone.

People like her still need our support, but we also need to make sure these kind of accidents happen as little as possible. Now her life will be multiple times harder than it should be and the child's life will also be multiple times harder than it should be.

Its a mystery - why would a hypercapitalist society increasingly dependent on manual labour destroy education, destroy workers rights, remove the ability to abort unwanted pregnancies and make prisoners legal slaves?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

because most of the United States is a developing country, and it's mostly "developing" backwards.
