If most people are not in high paid work what do you after work?

I don't want to be rude or arrogant, are you applying for higher paying jobs after work? are you activity searching for the same job after work? I don't blame most people that are well off or rich, I don't complain about being poor. I know most people want to get out of a low paid job, are you applying for higher paying jobs? I also don't put the blame on any state or local governments, if most people are struggling finically where are you shopping for food? how much are you paying for rent each month? I also don't blame employers. ​

Paint peeling off the walls

So I have to do what's right for me. I can't work, period. So I'm bound to the same thing every day until the day I die. Which is also depressing and disheartening. I'm between a rock and a hard place and I don't see a way out. I tried shopping for health insurance online but everywhere I go I just get the run around, I can't seem to actually sign up for any coverage because every time I get close, it redirects me to the same handful of choices to pick from. I go through any of them, do the questionnaire, get redirected back to where I started. I tried 4 different times. I can't lose my therapist, she's my only support right now. I can't lose my medications, they've actually helped. But after this painful journey, I've been trying to get myself to show up to interviews, going…

Customer Service Job Question

I work as a call handler for a large company and were meant to handle calls related to repairs. Why is it expected of me to listen to customers scream at me on the phone and have a fit. Why am I expected to be ok with people threatening me to ‘sue’ me and tell me I’m useless and scream at me? Is this normal? Am I allowed to say anything back like ‘why are you screaming at me? Or I will log in the complain but I will have to end this call? Or I can raise this for you but stop screaming at me or I do not like your tone I will have to end the call if you keep it this way? Why is it so normal for people to abuse customer services? I get paid £10 per hour this isn’t enough to deal with idiots

Am i just seeing the worst in people?

Edit: The title isn't the best. Let's just say it says: Am i lazy, stupid or did i do the right thing for myself and the guy is not very nice? ​ Hey, I don't really know if this is the place for my topic, but i couldn't think of another place for it tbh. A little background: I'm unemployed. I'm actively seeking a job and might have a decent one lined up and will know the result next week. The job would be as machine/line operator in the plastic sector, where as i have around 15 years of “experience” in the metal shaping industry (shaping aluminium in to stuff) and it's a fucking welcome change for me if i can leave the metal industry, because i hate metal. I get super easy skin iritations and rashes from oils used for lubrication, strong cleaners and to much dust, so going…
