Working multiple jobs is a part of the fabric of the working world

is this guy for real? is this a common thought in America?

Does it sound fucking dystopic only to me?!

I have met very few people in the USA that worked 2 jobs. I have never had more than one job at a time.

Additionally, I have spent a couple decades in poverty and hanging around people of similar means while those conditions were true.

Not even two part time jobs, or one full time the other part time?

I have twice worked two jobs at once. Both times I was young, late teens/early 20s. Once I was working for one bike shop, but getting fed up with management, when the owner of another bike shop started hiring me on occasion when he needed extra help- which eventually led to me quitting the first shop and working at the second one full time. The other time, I was working for my uncle's construction business, and I took a second job at a video store one day a week mainly for the benefit of free movie rentals.
