they should be able to do far more. they should have comforts, they should be able to afford a holiday. they should have time to find their passions and grow as a person more than as just a mere employee.
this position of rent and food alone should not become the new bar for acceptance.
I think the idea is that even though when the bar is in the basement it’s still a joke to say it’s “controversial”.
In my white-collar career job I had bosses tell me that I shouldn’t complain about not being able afford rent without a roommate because [insert nonsense] and it’s like, is that the best they can do? They literally just looked at me like “we don’t respect you as a human being and refuse to have even the slightest ampunt of empathy” and then had the gall to squirm when I wouldn’t kiss their ass.
So yes, you’re right, but the joke isn’t quite going with that angle.
