Correct, capitalism requires suffering to survive

If you don't know the answer, you need not feel compelled to respond. It just makes you look silly.

I do know the answer. Unstable employment is not a delight for people struggling to eat

Hello??!! Can you see the question, now highlighted for you. Any big words that elude you?? Lemme break it down for you so you don't need to struggle.
1. Some people work fewer than full time hours.
2. A percentage of such people prefer - choose, opt, elect, want to - work the fewer than full time hours.
Q. What percentage is 2 of 1?

You said you do know the answer. Out with it, then.

A very small percentage. Most people are struggling. A few have reliable other income and do it for pocket money, sure

Part time is different to casual. Casual is the issue.

I would guarantee you that there are far far far far more people in hospital beds with diabetes, strokes, heart failure kidney failure and dementia than with covid.

That may well be the case, but it's totally irrelevant. At any rate those illnesses
you list are more often than not the result of the natural aging process—not any
sort of acquired viral infection. I checked widely, and couldn't find any statistics
on the types of hospital, admissions by specific illness.

So how can you "guarantee" the claim you make here? Any citations?

Quote:

Covid is a nice scapegoat. But the demographic change and be general unhealthiness of people due to poor nutrition and poor exercise acceptance is a way bigger problem.

The effects of general unhealthiness and poor nutrition can be reversed
with the appropriate education, support and motivation. COVID can't be.

If, as a 75-year-old, I develop diabetes or suffer a heart attack I can do
something about it—a change of diet, lose weight, and more exercise for
example, which—hopefully!—would keep me out of hospital.

Agreed. Permanent part time equals guaranteed minimum hours,
usually 15 hours per week, and includes pro rate holiday pay, sick
leave, and employer superannuation. Casual doesn't guarantee any
minimum hours, leave, or superannuation under 90 hours worked
per month.
