As a non native speaker, I do not get the meaning of this post? And a lot of others. The word entitlement seems to have changed it’s meaning. What does it mean today?
according to wiktionary:
>entitlement (countable and uncountable, plural entitlements)
>
>* The right to have something, whether actual or perceived.
>* Power, authority to do something.
>* Something that one is entitled to.
>* (politics) A legal obligation on a government to make payments to a person, business, or unit of government that meets the criteria set in law, such as social security in the US.
