> It’s 2024- it’s really easy to do either one

It's easy if you earn $100k+ of course. It's not easy with $40k in a two-bedroom house with a toddler as a single parent.

"But then, she's not supposed to have that job if she can't do it," I can already hear you say. To that, I'd say sure, you could do that, if you're willing to pay for a several year long maternity leave from your taxes until the parents can place their kids in kindergartens.

She’s not supposed to have that job (from home) if she can’t figure out voice isolation software or alternatively buy an appropriate headset.

Even minimum-wage construction workers know that they’re gonna need to invest a bit up front into work stuff.
