    A real American scam is believing that you need to monetize your hobbies. Any full time job should pay enough to sustain a person. Everyone deserves to have free time away from work to enjoy whatever they like without having to turn their free time into another income stream

      Lol that’s literally the definition of the ‘American Dream’, or at least it was.

      Anyone willing to work a full 40 hour week was supposed to be able to make a decent living in America. Seems like some time around Reagan things changed.
