Yeah, right. "I refuse to be exploited by the capitalist society, so I'm going to exploit my parents and my girlfriend by leeching money out of them to watch Netflix all day." Very compelling.

Anyone can be a socialist when there is someone else to pay for their socialism. Mr. Eberstadt is clearly an educated and polite man, so he tactfully skirted around saying this directly, but he gives the answer in plain sight. If those guys' parents and partners stopped carrying their lazy deadbeat asses, they'd be back on track in no time.
