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.

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.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
