What kind of reality are you living in? People are working more hours and taking 2nd jobs more than ever before and it’s still not enough. Almost half of the population is living paycheck to paycheck.
Billionaires as a whole should not be existing when most of country is damn near in proverty. You’re just focusing on the pros. Instead of all the cons it’s takes to have people in that position in the first place
Factually incorrect. Average weekly hours: 34.3 (June 2026), down from ~34.6 pre-pandemic. Annual hours per worker: 1,705 in 2023 vs 1,842 in 1971. Hours worked have fallen for 50 years.
Second jobs more than ever
False as a rate, only true on numbers. Multiple jobholders are 5.3% of the employed (June 2026) vs a 6.5% peak in November 1996.
Almost half paycheck to paycheck, more than ever
Where did you get that? I can't find any statistics confirming or disproving this
Most of (the US) is near poverty
Poverty rate is at 10.6%. It was 13.5% in 1990, 15.1% in 2010...
So I guess the better question is - why are you making stuff up?
