Jobs don't work like that, though. To be able to pass up work is a luxury - the employer really has the upper hand. This is doubly so at low wages: No Food & no shelter unless you work isn't a free choice. Doubly so when the bits of safety net available require work in many cases - if they truly exist at all. (been years, but Indiana had zero cash help for single folks without kids. I guess adults could just go die on the street). Wage slavery sucks.

Now, if there were a real safety net - UBI, or something else that gives enough to live a normal life and afford a computer, internet, food, shelter, and reasonable hobbies - well, then, we can reconsider. Until we have choice with viable options - including not working for exploitative employers - then we might be able to do such things.
