i thought we were talking about people who were good workers getting punished with more work for working hard.

not people living paycheck to paycheck. that's an entirely different issue.

but hey, we can keep changing the subject. what about single moms with no education living paycheck to paycheck in rural areas?

how is changing jobs a complex issue? people do it all the time.

sorry, I don't believe in the fedi default doomerism perspective, and yeah I know that is 'very insulting' to a lot of posters here. i'm an advocate of people improving their situations and being happy, again very unpopular perspective on fedi.

I find most folks I encounter, when reporting how miserable and unhappy they are, refuse to change anything and just double down on their misery... and frankly well that is their fault entirely. Some people are in awful situations, but the truth is you won't ever get out of one unless you change things to get yourself out of it. The world isn't going ot magically result you from yourself.

But I get that is 'hard' to swallow and people would rather daydream than make active changes in their lives to improve their well-being. I'm very familiar with it in my personal life and I'm also very familiar with how bitter many of those people are towards people who have made changes to their lives and reaped the benefits, and cast it off as if it was 'so easy' for us.... instead of taking years of hard work and dedication and owning up to your mistakes such that you don't make them again.
