Because, I don’t know if you’re noticed, having a paying job is exhausting. The world setup in such a way that for a normal person, getting money means someone will suck every bit of life of you.

Yet most people have hobbies. So what you're saying is that working as a garbage disposal person is not enjoyable enough to generally make people want to do it every day alongside having a regular job. They'd rather play video games, or write a Lemmy frontend, or something else that's more fulfilling and doesn't stink.
