@rbreich I left being an instructor at a major research university to run my own business out of a car because good jobs are so scarce and high rents so common. In other words, I have chosen to live extremely in order to avoid being exploited, like I was being exploited by my former employer, who had me teaching almost 800 (aggressively subpar and mostly aggressive) business students per semester. What an actual nightmare.
We want better. Anyone actually thinking wants better.
