    If that was the case, they would have asked the question you did. But they didn’t. They asked a different question. You’re assuming their intent based on your own preconceptions. A common cause for miscommunication and confusion.

      Well if they had asked that question, a lot of people would say things like

      “How can I spend 40 hours a week making the world a better place when I’m stuck working this shitty job to barely pay for my life?”

        I didn’t comment on the quality of, or potential responses to, the new question.
        You’re also assuming something different than the words I used.

        Maybe. But you and I don’t know that.
        You’re guessing their meaning, rather than accepting their words as written.
        You’re trying to mind read, rather than word read.

            That’s another way of saying the same thing. Roughly.
            Seems we agree on the facts, and simply value them differently.

      Reading your reply right now is really funny because the OP replied to the same person after you did saying “You heard what I meant”
