No. That’s not full time work.
That’s the type of job you have while you are in college or pursuing education for a better job.
I worked 10-20 hours a week in college.
Comment on Anon lives on a budget

Big “just pull yourself up by your bootstraps” energy with this comment.
It’s insane that you think people have to hit a minimum bar of “productivity” to justify living above a barely-scraping-by level, and that you set that bar at over half a person’s waking hours.

what should people do then? work 10 hours a week and then sit around watching TV for 120?

Yes, why the fuck not? Social safety nets and access to basic human necessities like food, shelter, and healthcare should not be gated by some arbitrary number of “working hours”.

He’s got a roof over his head, food to eat, and a ton of leisure time. That is dignified.
His comment about one accident away is something he’d still be facing with 40 hours a week. We could all do with improvements to the social safety net.

I don’t know how leisurely that leisure time is gonna be, considering he’s only got a hundred bucks to play with, coupled with the stress and anxiety of being one car repair or injury away from financial ruin.
You’re absolutely right that the social safety net needs improvements, but that net should be there for everyone, not just those that work some arbitrary number of hours.
