Just a rough guess,
but maybe he can't get a job?
Not to worry, though, our beloved leaders are soon to ensure that no one under 25 can have any benefits, so if you can persuade his parents to kick him out over the winter, there's a good chance that he can freeze to death, and stop being a burden to us all.

Yes he can
because I gave him a job.

After 2 weeks he found he didn't like getting out of bed before midday and stopped showing up, so I gave the job to someone else. Like I said, some people just don't like having to work for a living.

Maybe he'd have developed a better work ethic if he'd got started early in life?
If only some graduate hadn't gone around, hoovering up all the local paper rounds.

Seriously, though, he's 18. Plenty of people have a shitty attitude at that age.

And your generalisation about the attitudes and experience of millions of people is based on that alone?

I love how they assume everyone under 25 has parents who are able and willing to be mooched off eight years past the legal working age
it'll be a real kick in the teeth to anyone who's worked ever since they left school and finds themselves being made redundant

still, people like that are hardly likely to support the Tories, so they can go fuck themselves

The mistake we're all making is being born into families that can't guarantee a substantial inheritance.
Selective breeding, and the replacement of the working class with robots, is clearly the answer.

but who'll maintain the robots?
you'd have to have a lot of specially trained fitters and engineers - in other words, skilled workers, exactly the kind of people who'd form unions, earn a lot more money than resentful Daily Mail reading office monkeys and generally cause trouble!

no, the definitive answer is to scrap all industry (it's too complicated and expensive to maintain anyway), return to a feudal society and undo 500 years of social progress along the way

Self-sustaining, self-aware robots.
What could possibly go wrong?

if you can get around Gödel's incompleteness theorem
(i.e. that any logical system can be complete or fully consistent, but not both), very little

if you can get around that, you'll have solved one of the biggest fundamental problems of artificial intelligence - but until then, true AI is nothing more than science fiction
