I hate this for them. When I saw the early documentaries on them, I hoped that they would continue to get the love and support they seemed to have back then. They had dreams of becoming country singers and other things. How the system can just fuck them like this is horrible. I hope they get student debt forgiveness or something.
their college gave them the option of paying 1 or 2 tuitions and getting 1 or 2 degrees. they chose 2.
when they applied for a job they had the option to apply for 1 or 2 positions, they chose 1.
only getting 1 salary is fine for them because they only need to house one body, own one car, feed one body, buy one seat on a plane, etc. their expenses are that of one person so their salary needs are that of one person.
People act like there’s a fucking manual on how to handle this when the reality is nobody knows what the right policy is in this case - the fact that they got college degrees and are gainfully employed is pretty cool to me though - I don’t think the world is out to get them, I just think they got dealt a shitty hand, and modern society complicates it even more because everything works under the assumption that each human body has 1 human mind attached to it.
