> Why pay more though?

Why indeed? Your bosses must love you defending your own mistreatment. You should put this quote on your CV.

> you can always work less.

Do you honestly think you can tell that to a person struggling financially while working 3 jobs?

> most of the well off people I know are a lot more lonely.

In a society of such aggressive wealth disparity as ours, a result of underpaying and overworking the majority of the population, a lot of wealthy people self isolate, and become lonely, because they had to harm others to get that wealth or are afraid the poors will try to take it from them.

Do those wealthy people somehow deserve my sympathy, or the focus of the efforts of this scientific inquiry, more than the people working multiple jobs yet are unable to ever retire?
