You’re right, if everyone was an accountant they’d be able to afford groceries! What are these young adults thinking going into jobs like groceries stores and fast food and expecting a wage that allows them to live a normal life! That’s totally on the workers and not at all on the greedy tyrants who perpetuate this prison they call capitalism.

    I was hoping not to have to say this, but generally speaking I don't think retail workers are the ones going viral on social media. Whether it's writing skills or editing skills, socioeconomically downwardly mobile media employees are more likely to drive that side of the culture war.

    Doesn't mean the plight of the working poor in retail and other service work isn't real, but I'd expect that to be more "quiet desperation" than "viral on Bluesky".
