  >Also, assuming the author does live there it seems a little hypocritical that he's criticising other's life choices I believe it would only be hypocritical if he were also making those choices and not owning up to it. Saying "I make good choices, you make bad" (not what I think the author is actually saying) is not, in itself, hypocritcal.

    I think what makes it seem hypocritical is that he's criticizing people for having a critical mindset. I don't think it's really hypocrisy though. He's not scornful or contemptuous in his criticism; it felt to me like he was trying to encourage people to be more understanding, both of the people around them, and of their own weaknesses.

      Yes, my point is to persuade professionals to a) understand the plight of the working poor better, and b) do a better job of managing their own time poverty.
