It's so funny to see XiaoHongShu discover how much westerners have been propagandised

Two 20 hour jobs is optimistic. Part-time is considered anything under 35 hours a week. It's much more likely you're going to be stuck trying to squeeze two 30 hour jobs into a single week because neither job is going to consider the schedule of the other and you're going to be caught in between. And as others have said, neither jobs are going to give you the benefits a 40 hour job should be giving you, but are often screwing you out of because, in the US, pretty much nothing but cheap healthcare is guaranteed for 40 hours now.

It’s rarely two 9-5 M-F jobs that add up to 40 hours a week.

It’s usually a combination of a primary job that is just below the threshold of full time and therefore doesn’t qualify for basic benefits like health insurance, paid time off, or retirement <32 hours.

Usually the second job is in the evening and weekends. Service jobs, retail, etc. Often the schedule varies wildly and changes often.

Typically both jobs are paid hourly and can end at any time.

A lot of people work much more than 40 hours per week, but don’t have the security of a full time, salaried job.

Yeah I hear this argument from libs all the time: "it's a natsec nightmare how an enemy government has planted sensors all over the inside of people's homes"

But why? Why does it matter at all that China can know what American people are doing in their homes, what they're interested in, etc? Is it for military reasons? Are you worried that Chinese robots are gonna land and have a floor plan of every tiktok user's house? Or are you worried because knowing a lot about American people means they can market their products better? Like seriously how does it affect natsec, I can only really imagine ways in which it affects commerce and industry but not natsec. And as far as commerce goes, who cares?

Type "Uyghur" into the search, I dare you. The results are truly horrifying. People sharing fashion, food, and music from their culture. Don't they know they're being enslaved? That they're living in The Truman Show?

already seen a few people claiming the chinese users are "bots created by the CCP," the propaganda runs DEEP

I think I worded that weirdly. I was asking genuinely, I had thought social credit was just a thing and was surprised something so big could be/was a lie. I too am uninformed.

Wikipedia does a pretty good job. Unfortunately, we were trained by our teachers to not trust Wikipedia so-
