Way to miss the point. It’s about some people acting like these are choices rather than “this is the best I can do”. Would you really prefer the inconsistency of the gig economy if well paying consistent jobs were available? Would you eat rice and beans for every meal if you actually had the choice? Wouldn’t you prefer just a few more square feet in your tiny home(maybe in the kitchen or bathroom)?
Acting like people are making all of these choices out of genuine desire and not a good helping of “this is what I have to do to survive” is what the meme is criticizing and what you on your high horse up there failed to see.
I get where you’re coming from but in my ideal world we would all work gig jobs and they would provide us enough money to live at the very least at our current lifestyle.
The 40-hour work week is a lie. It’s not needed anymore, and anyone who sits down for 4 hours and analyzes our current economic system would probably agree with me.
You have gotten up onto a high horse about how I am flawed and wrong before checking whether I was on your side.
Besides, the point you are making, while it has its merits, only touches on my point. My point is enjoy what you like. If you like overnight oats just go ahead and eat them.
It doesn’t mean you’re a “peasant eating gruel”. It’s okay to like what you like.
Like I said, some people love nothing more than to reframe whatever you are saying or whatever you are doing in the worst possible light for no reason other than to make you feel bad.
You seem to think I have some sort of emotional investment in this and I can assure you that I do not. I’m saying that today’s reality is not tomorrow’s reality and that things can get better, which is a fact and not really up for debate.
As to whether or not they will get better that very much is up to debate, but if you think that being condescending is proving your point then maybe you should take some time and think a little longer.

Good luck running your ideal society on all gig jobs. I predict total collapse of infrastructure within the first six months.
My point is proved.

I’m not trying to huwt yur feewsies, I’m saying you can’t run an advanced society on gig work. I’m sorry reality is a thing.
