I Hate the “Side Hustle” Concept

The only time I hear people making $100k+ talking about also having a side hustle, it's in the context of Silicon Valley "influencers". It doesn't seem to be a thing anywhere else in the US, at least in my experience.

I do often hear people who are lower-middle-class talking about it, but it's not because of workism. It's just because that's the only way to provide themselves any kind of safety net.
