Lol damn, God forbid someone want more out of life than scraping by getting basic needs barely met. I’ve been looking around while in school, and plenty of jobs are still paying $15-19/hr. That is barely enough to get by, depending where you live and rent may not even be enough, let alone take a vacation once a year or even think of raising a family.
You’re arguing semantics while the intention is clear. Quit being pedantic.
In our parents’ generation’s time, a public service job could fund a house, two kids, and annual vacations. We want that, or even more since we’re significantly more productive since those days. A job used to give us needs and a good amount of wants. Conflating the two in this context, while not perfectly precise, is irrelevant.

What do you mean? He used the word ‘need’ and now you’re changing it to ‘wants.’
Why are you conflating needs with wants?
It’s both. Humans need breaks, vacations, etc. I may want to take a vacation to South America but would settle for somewhere North, though.
Woah woah woah. Breaks and vacations are very different things.
It’s funny watching you people conflate needs and wants just like breaks and vacations, lol.
You really need to brush up on your vocabulary!
