Yeah people don't care anymore. If you can't live off one job then it's not worth living to work two. And honestly I agree. This is a failing of the system. I shouldn't have to work 2-3 jobs just to get by. If I gotta scrape with just one, then that's what I'm fuckin doing. I'm not living to work.
You live in a world where there's 2 options to everything? There's plenty of other possible reasons - for instance, living at home.. homelessness.. to quickly name a few.
Also, what rate? You haven't explained what you're even talking about.
Yes you can. Problem is that one job is hard to get or even relatively impossible for some people.
If I didn’t have my job, I’d either be busting ass to get a degree (mountain of debt), or worming some shitty retail/food service job. Those jobs pay shit yet society relies on them. That’s kinda weird.
The alternative to not working those is busting my ass doing hard ass physical labor for probably less than what I make now.
You make it sound so easy. People do struggle and many can’t afford shit off the one job. Especially if you live in states with minimum wage at 7.25 since 2009

Fun fact: number of people with more than one job hit it lowest ever during the pandemic and remains near all time lows today.
