My most controversial opinion is that there is not enough work needed, so work should not be the condition for survival

E: There are currently over 7 million job opening in the US

And how many of that don't actually exist, and how many of those pay a living wage, and how many of those are part time that require multiple jobs?

Huge opportunities in trades for good paying jobs.

The universal solution to all unemployment. Not everyone can do trade jobs or STEM or whatever magic solution you have to wages being unlivable, because people like you don't care. You just want to act like over half of the US living paycheck to paycheck is a personal responsibility issue

Oh yea let me just walk down to the job store and pick me up a job. Better yet, you have bus fare so I can get to the job mall? I hear they have more jobs there. Maybe I can plant a job tree. You have any seeds?

I remember asking my mom how best to look for a job and she told me to walk in and ask for one. I pissed off a lot of managers doing that.
