The descriptions in the beginning of this thread of everyone having it so "cushy" made me think a bit.
Specifically, I think we're not getting shown the "not cushy" parts of the individuals' lives unless they're relevant to the story. I don't view this as glossing over as much as economical storytelling.
Case in point: Dale's pretty chill, but his day-to-day life does kind of suck. We got to see some of the less-than-cushy parts while May was tailing along in his Glasses during his work montage. Perhaps this is why he was spending so much time in WoW--a kind of escapism.
Other examples:
May's journey has been less-than-cushy. Jail plus trying to put together a post-release life has been a struggle.
The intern-training montage was where we got to see the less-cushy parts of Marten's job--I mean it is real work, even if you have a cool boss).
We've seen places where Hanners and Cosette experienced the non-cushy parts of working in a coffeeshop (though presumably Cosette is the only one who actually needs to work there for financial reasons).
As for Clairemom, there's simply not enough info. If cheating dad was at all well-off the divorce would have to have set her up reasonably well but she may just as well have superior business acumen and able to support C+C.
I presumed that Clinton lost his hand while he was young enough to still be insured, plus I'd guess that therapeutic technologies are more subsidized in QCverse than in realityverse since they seem so prevalent.
As to rain in QC, see
