A grandmother forced to do a gig job with no job security because she can’t afford to retire and has to pay for her husband's cancer treatment isn't much of a flex, is it?

Touting a Granny doing gig work would be along the same lines as when #43 was praising some 90-something farmer, who, supposedly, still got up at dawn and worked his farm every day. The message is "you don't need a retirement income, because you can work into your 80s or 90s (so I can cut SS to nothing, and give the money to my cronies instead)"
