For many of them, it also became an outlet to play outside of their tangled web of responsibilities as business owners, mothers, friends and partners.

Either The NYT wants you to believe every USonian owns a business, or they don't know what a wage worker is, or they're just playing up to their wealthy target audience. But its just so strange to not acknowledge that some ppl just have regular jobs.

It's pretty normal in Poland, press articles, soap operas etc overwhelmingly are about people who don't have a regular job but it's either always business or freelance or alternatively living in the job hustle when the topic is some particular job.
