This is basically the way that we are forced to do but shouldn't be the case if you look at the history. Even the slaves that worked in the pyramids got paid more than some people in the world, and by some I mean a few billion people are getting paid less than those people these days.
I have to say that if we are forced to work at two jobs, that means that we are going to be forced to work three jobs eventually, or eventually we are going to be told that living in a house alone or just one family is a luxury that you shouldn't do and you should all be living in apartment complexes, and they will cram all of us in the same place, and they will tell us meat is not a must and we can just eat chicken, or they will... basically they will make us do worse and worse stuff.
They do not force us to do anything, we accept everything that is served to us... maybe there is a choice, but mostly that choice is reduced to choosing between many bad choices. It's a system, we are still slaves in a way, not like 1000 years ago, we are not chained, but we depend on money, there's never enough money and that puts us in a tricky situation.
It is a contradiction, the global economy is not in decline, but the gap between the rich and the poor is bigger than ever. While it is difficult for many to push through the month, some people prosper and have more money than ever. I guess it's all a matter of perspective, but for sure not everyone can advance in this world, it's individual... some people are going up and some are going down.
We have to do some things to make a living these days. If we want more, we must either work hard or the work we do must be valuable. There may be many options, but this is generally the case.
We strive to change our conditions and live in better conditions. Some of us can achieve this and it is not impossible to achieve. Of course, it is not easy, but we can see more of the opportunities that come our way and we are trying to take advantage of them.
The global economy is deteriorating and the quality of life is declining in many countries. Necessary steps need to be taken to reverse this. In some cases we must try harder to improve our own conditions.
