Say you were to be required to choose that you could:

1. Work full-time like everybody else and make $100.00 five days a week. You own a lot of stuff. You always sleep inside under lock and key! The only people you see are family and friends, few strangers. Nobody plays mind games.

2. Don't work at all. Own nearly nothing. Live outside! Your median income is $20.00 a day. You get to let wealthy superstars tease you and mess with your mind, trying to harm you psychologically. They never help you.

What would you choose?

I vote #1.

I think only really stupid people would vote #2.

Other benefits of working include savings, retirement, health insurance, physical safety... it don't take a rocket scientist.

So it sounds like the second choice is breaking into show business.

This doesn't make sense. Wealthy people are not trying to psychologically harm people who aren't wealthy. This sounds like a narrative you are creating in your mind.

$100 per day five days per week? That's barely above minimum wage.

3. None of the above.
