Obviously grim, but even on the high end of the statistic in the article, ~7M people working themselves to death at the bottom of the economy, out of 164M people working... is terrible, but not exactly true for everyone?
- remram 4y agoWho says "everyone"? The headline is "millions"
- blacksmith_tb 4y agoThat's fair, just that it implies a kind of overall meltdown that saying "1 in 20 working people can't make enough to live" doesn't. Not to downplay how crappy it is for people in that situation.
- remram 4y agoI don't think I agree to be honest. If you know more than 20 people, that still sounds bad. Might make a difference if you have no idea how many people live in the USA I suppose.
