Nah, they decided to buy a more affordable car with only a 3-star crash rating because they decided to get stressed about their only financing option being complete dogshit because of a wrecked economy, because they decided to have a job that required going into the office.
If my brother, at a very young age, had made the reasonable decision of pursuing higher education as a path in life, and due to a wide variety of circumstances is in financial trouble and I could help…
Guess what, I’m helping. I do not give a fuck if there’s a difference, my guy. And I also know my brother would stop in the middle of a career defining work meeting and come rescue me if I was in trouble.
And I wouldn’t trade that kind of relationship for your world view.
Probably them choosing to do the thing. Someone doing a PhD might be hoping to land a good job later on and be able to through that pay off the debt. Or they want to pursue their passion, even if it means debt. It’s a decision to go for those. Could’ve gone to trade school.

I love how we all agree on the general problem of capitalism but God forbid we apply it in our daily life.
Decisions have consequences. Brother 1 chose to be 140K in debt. Brother 2 didn’t. It’s not Brother 2’s problem to solve.

Sure, but nobody would choose to be in a car crash.
Bro chose to go into debt. Big difference.
If that’s how you see our familiar relations sure, you’re your own individual. But boy I’d hate to be your family member.
“I chose [X] of my own free will. Now I’m unhappy with that choice. Fix it for me.” No.
“Events outside my control have made things hard. Help?” Yes.
See the fucking difference?
The difference is not my point at all.

What makes something somebody’s problem to solve, exacly?
