I see people who work 50-70 hours a week, and even with all that overtime they cannot afford their medical expenses, or they’re being forced out of their rental due to the landlord selling the property and now they have to cope with a move to a more expensive place that no longer fits their budget, they also have $60k in student debt on a degree that didn’t get them the job they have (despite being told by “experts” that you get a bachelors/masters or you’re useless, all to enter a saturated field that wasn’t saturated 2-4 years ago), and they can’t afford a reliable vehicle.
It must be nice to have that silver spoon you were gifted with, but there are many more who work hard but still have fallen off the edge of our system with no safety net. This isn’t about working for things you want, this is about people having the means to take care of their needs.
Quite frankly your view is narrow and outdated, hence the people that think you’re a boomer. If it’s so easy, then by all means tell us what the hundreds of millions of people should be doing without the canard advice of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, because that is a chickenshit weak argument by privileged fuckheads who have no clue.
