A big part of the blame, IMHO, resides w/ these so called junk jobs that pay the absolute minimum possible, no benefits, etc. by the millions (maybe even tens of millions of such undesirable jobs).
Sure some of us are going to miss the occasional fast food meal or going to our local quick trip for gas or other such things, and suffer other such minor drawbacks, but guess who's really making the money here in these scenarios? It isn't us, the workers/grunts, it's the literally dozens and dozens (maybe hundreds) of billionaires/millionaires, paying the lowest possible minimum wages, still raking in the millions and millions of dollars every week (while we're getting nothing, no money worth speaking about, no benefits, nothing).
And as a reminder, look at how much in taxes Musk and Brazos (Amazon) paid over the last 10-20 years, while each of them raked in over 200+- billion dollars in wealth...
