Yeah, they didn't do amazing. Particularly the point where the Fox news guy said "but You CHosE TO worK aNd CaN qUiT at ANY TIME". That's the perfect time to respond with "if I do I go starving and homeless, that's the fucking point", but they just... didn't.
I think it would have helped. Retail is exactly the kind of job that capitalists are shitting their pants over not having enough employees. Think about the narrative of "I quit my shitty retail job to do something more fulfilling that requires less work", that's pretty representative of the movement.
Yeah but I mean the host is just going to say "get a REAL job, regardless" and hold it over your head that you're not an expert on "work" and should shut up.
Yeah it's easy to say all this as outside observers, honestly I'd probably fold and just tell them to go fuck themselves, and they'd be like "oh ho ho so you admit you have no comeback! hmph 😤 "
"Sure I'm able to quit anytime I like, but let's consider then what my options would be: 1.) starvation 2.) homelessness 3.) prison, because we criminalize number 2. Get what I'm saying?"

Wow, this interview of theirs seems much better.
Edit: They apparently worked in retail for 10 years but failed to mention that on Fox.

Wouldn't matter, the angle the host wanted to work was that only MANLY work like welder or working on a factory floor is "real" work.

“Like yours?” is the answer, but easier to say outside of stress situation
