5/ I'm finding it hard to understand (literally, I find this hard!) how people can be worked up that "some jobs require you to lift things and stand on your feet". I presume that both of these authors have purchased coffee at coffee shops. I presume they've seen lawns mowed.

Those warehouse jobs and burger flipping jobs are hard work with low pay... but anyone can do them. It's a way to pay the bills while you level up, nothing more. It's not fair to any side to create the expectation that these should be good, life-long careers.
