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.

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”.

because society would collapse. social programs only work by having more people putting into them than are taking out. they are a form of insurance.
resources are not infinite. the insurance company can’t operate if it’s pay outs exceed it’s pay ins.
