But if $DAYJOB actually keeps you from your dying kid's bedside, is it still there to "sustain" it? Or is it just leeching into your life?

If having a job is still marginally better than not having it, it's a sign of an efficient labor market.

(Market inefficiencies is where everything that is nice, beautiful, good, human, lives.)

Why do you write '$DAYJOB'?
General nerd slang for "fill in the name of it here" based on coding syntax

so like imagine your day jobs employers name in that part
