As she said, people are working two jobs and insane hours. Just because they're employed doesn't mean they are prosperous. Yeah, and those things she said don't really seem to be true. I'm not surprised because, at least in my experience, many, though by no means all, socialist reactionaries have very little understanding of economics. it's weird to me that the conservative/libertarian commentators are focusing on this narrow unemployment rate thing when you can just note that her actual statements are wrong. barely anyone has multiple jobs and almost no one works 80 hours a week (the people who do are not poor) Yeah, she 's making an argument that is probably easy to beat with a bit of research but people are strawmanning it for some reason. --- The Legend is True! <cite>MC_BatCommander posted [p:905354308] in Socialist ...
