This isnt trying to slot everything into an existing thread. This thread is a straight up Fata.
I'm surprised you can't recognize the difference as I know this isn't your first day on the Internet.

FWPs are problems or frustrations only experienced by privileged individuals in wealthy countries.

Gear grinders are more universal in nature. Your example, for example, isn't a FWP - that experience could be shared by anybody on the planet. Even a poor taxi driver in Iraq.
