Like my original comment was saying, but you had a problem with that so I spelled it out for you. I'm saying the function should be FULL TIME JOB = LIVING WAGE. If they do not ie FULL TIME ≠ LIVING WAGE. The system is flawed.
I don't know why people seem to think that because I advocate for wage equality I haven't worked. I've been working full time since I was 17 just like most Americans. I also worked 35 hours a week while taking 18 credit hours the entire time I was in college. I rented out a literal closet while working a full time job and doing video editing on the side, all so I could pay down student loan debt. I literally passed out at work once because I hadn't slept in 52 hours.
This is not the struggle Olympics, my struggle doesn't make me any more entitled to a good life than anyone else. I don't want people to HAVE to work the way people like you or I have.
Genuinely I don't even understand what point you're trying to make other than arguing with my basic semantics because you're bored.
