You don't have to. It isn't required. I setup end points everyday with local users.

Using the trade skills I acquired to pay for a computer science degree, which has secured me the best job I've ever had. Going to college later in life was absolutely a game changer.

That's a super safe assumption in this case, but this one is more of an anomaly. It's a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

This isn't entirely uncommon, but my 20 year old car is in perfect shape, fully paid off, and can do any job. I'm proud of that thing.

What? We don't have a plethora of other games here in the US? I'll have to remind the owners of all those shops that those hundreds of other games they're selling currently only exist outside of the US. How embarrassing for us...

Don't confuse the difficulty of unionization with the lack of need/want. Most states are "at will", which means they can pretty much fire you for whatever, whenever. Couple that with low wages and poor social programs, and you have a vast amount of workers who can't afford to go on strike.

However, many of us are living comfortably, with decent wages, insurance, and paid time off. Folks from other places really tend to forget how many people are here, and just how varied the situations can be. It's not dire for many of us, but if you're on the bottom, the struggle is nearly insurmountable. Which, unfortunately, is by design. We're working on it though, just don't equate tv shows to an accurate depiction of a country of 300 million.

How bold of you to assume that most people will inherit money and assets.

I mean, if you've purchased chocolate in the last century, you're supporting slavery by your logic. Same for many other commodities, but most people know about diamonds. You could be protesting your entire life, justifiably, about many things. Most people in the world cannot consume without inadvertently causing harm and suffering somewhere in the world. It's nice that you're now thinking about it though.

Selling cb belts at tunnel! TRAIN!!!!

I had five magical years in that game. I was a mage main. I don't think anything will top EQ.

You're only just now wondering this?!

If you have dependants, then they certainly care if your affairs are in order, or not. Dealing with the aftermath of a death is not trivial when it comes to number of hoops to jump through.
