Saw a post on there yesteraday where someone couldn't believe some of us work 2 jobs just to be able to afford rent and food. I really hope this opens a lot of westerners eyes to to what is and isn't propaganda.

I never understood what is bad about "working 2 jobs". (I don't live in the US.) Is two 20 hour jobs not the same as one 40 hour job?

Most places don't offer benefits under 36-40 hours, including 401k, IRA, other retirement options. Most part time jobs are lower pay. And also if you are driving 15-30 minutes to either job, that ends up being like 2 hours total drive time since we are a car congestion-centric culture. Working multiple jobs just to get by is predatory and aimed at the extremely poor people.
