    It is not just online platforms. I have quite a few people at work who will constantly complain that the conditions are dreadful compared to everywhere else, who seem to believe they could earn more money stacking shelves at the supermarket or doing some other “easier” job. And yet they have been working there for years and show no signs they ever plan to leave.

      Those racist people who complain that immigrants and First Australians get privileges and all the government money

      but when challenged, when asked if they would swap places, they say no.

        And prisoners - they apparently have such a wonderful time in there it astounds me that these people aren’t going out and committing crimes so they can get in on the easy life too. Strangely the same people seemed to be very upset at how horribly restricted they were when told to stay within 5km from home for a few months.

      God, isn’t the the truth. Everyone has a soap box (and I realise the irony give my complaint), and seems like complaining about certain things while doing absolutely nothing about it is not only a right but a responsibility.
