Happily, indeed, the iron law is not quite as iron as it might sound. But Moloch's hand still grips firmly where it is given a hold: if you're working two minimum wage jobs because you absolutely need the money, where are you going to find the slack in your life to allow you to learn new skills and gain education? I work just one full-time job at substantially more than minimum wage, and even I can feel Moloch's cold caress and his call to sacrifice the long-term on the altar of the short-term; if my life weren't so comfortable, I can easily see how I might not even have the choice to resist him, let alone the willpower.
