Some money is better than no money and most of us either worked a LOT of hourly hours at the beginning of our careers or knows someone who did.
Small business owners like Missy Pie are not able to cure society's ills. She is trying to make a living herself. Things are just not that simple. No one WANTS people to do without. Necessity is often the mother of invention. A man who I know who lives here, now a very secure person financially worked two jobs for 12 years when he was young. You have to crawl before you can walk. In this country if you get up early and work hard you can be rich. Then people can think you were born with it.
