I enjoy teaching & researching, things I could not really do anywhere else, so yes? I think it is important not to confuse the complaints of TT professors in academia with seemingly more numerous and louder complaints of adjunct academics asking to be actually let into academia.https://twitter.com/ackocher/status/1409501554370035719 …
You may understand why, for someone who has all of the same problems of work-life balance and the exact same working environment, but with no job security at around a third the pay (and no benefits), why this argument is not very persuasive.

...I write on twitter as I work on my blog which pays my bills because my teaching doesn't from my home office because I don't currently have my own office space at either the university I taught at last semester or the university I'll teach at next semester.

For bonus points, while composing an email to a student on how to finish their incomplete - including additional grading and teaching work I'm expected to do - from a university *which*no*longer*employs*or*pays*me*!! (But can't burn those bridges!)

My original tweet was way harsher than I wanted it to be. But you can say that you are sympathetic to TT issues or that their concerns are like complaining about a fancy resort but not both, I think.

The latter is still a way to say, whether it was intended or not, that junior faculty shouldn't complain about working conditions that can be terrible in their own way.
