Employment is a common source of unhappiness.
That to be a source at all requires a job. If you are unemployed you aren't just "less unhappy about your employment", you don't have any.
I'd wager economic instability far outweighs the negatives of one's employment. After all, it's why many people still attend their jobs.
I'd be absolutely amazed if you managed to disprove him, because nothing I've ever observed or experienced seems to fit into it.
Your parent commenter was saying that they have, in fact, faced economic hardships, countering the implication that their opinion was underinformed because they hadn't.
he said "I see you've never been under any economic hardship ever in your life."
I said "so what do I win if I disprove your 'I see'?"
you said: "I'd be absolutely amazed if you managed to disprove him, because nothing I've ever observed or experienced seems to fit into it. "
So, you've spent your whole life tracking my levels of economic hardship? What organization do you work for?
to say it another way, as I have lately noticed people not following what I say:
I have had greater economic hardships than most Americans, the poster said they could tell I have not had any economic hardships, I made a response meant to cause them to think again by asking what I would win if I showed I had been under economic hardships, finally you seem to think that both you and the poster would absolutely 100% know that I have never been under any economic hardships - either that or you have grossly misunderstood what I wrote in response to them even though it was quite a short sentence and thus should be relatively clear.
It's your claim that poverty makes you happier than employment on some average. The last thing he said and the only relevant thing to even discuss here.
