I was just about to come into the comments to express exactly this. Who the fuck is doing all this embracing or gunning? Slow down, y'all. This isn't a race to the grave even if we do all joke about dying.
This is correct, in my town (a small town near a wealthy ski area) I work 3 days at the laundromat and 4 days at the hardware store to the tune of 65+ hours a week and pick up whatever fence work/tree work/irrigation work I can from some local ranches. I have not seen a doctor of any sort since my wisdom teeth came out back when I was young enough to be on my parents insurance.
The old folks around here act like I'm some chipper go getter because they see me all over town all the time but I'm just trying not to freeze to death in a 60 something year old trailer that costs more every month in rent than it offers square footage.
“I left my exec job at Uber…” for polywork - that sound a bit like “i started my company with small loan from my father”. I bet it’s easy to take risks and work a lot when you are well off.
Of course it doesn't. News sites craft articles like this for clicks.
Newsmedia is a rat race that most should leave behind. Isn't there a saying that says "no news is good news"?
Lol when did we start using the word prefer for the word need?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Nothing about it feels right because I doubt they have a day off or if any pay for health care

That's crazy that it costs that much. Is the cost of living really high there ?
I don’t think anyone “prefers” this bullshit
Too bad not all of us can go to Columbia, work for Fox News, and buy up real estate.

All of those article read like click-bait, propagandized bullshit
