"People don't want to work anymore". When did this mindset start?

but our government does owe us a descent living standard at the very least.
Like I've said before. You cant champion capitalism and support governments and bosses putting up barriers to keep you from participating in it.

The general operating process that so called capitalists and their boot lickers share in common is this: they think humans are inherently lazy and will try to game the system. They think if they reduce the barriers to participation(subsidize medical care, make housing a human right and punish exploitative land lords, legalize drugs so people have entire other industries they can work in, give people parental leave and govt subsidized home care for the elderly) that people will just sit at home all day and nothing will get done. Despite the fact that other countries do this and are fine, they've developed a delusion that if America tried what is successful in other countries that it would fall into chaos and shyt would look like mad max.

The reality is that they'd be prohibited from making obscene amounts of wealth, and to them thats the same as an apocalypse. They don't want to imagine a world where they cant make 300% more than their employees for doing less than 20% of their work.

Just because someone said something don’t make it true fam.
True, we are free to generalize; that was the point of my post.
You dapped, and quoted me about it not being true.
Your dap validated my general post.
Doesn't necessarily mean it had to be true for you to dap my post.
But just because you say it isn't true doesn't mean your dap didn't validate the post.
See?
You could have just dapped and kept it pushin'.
Could you tell me what the truth of the matter is if that general statement is false?
Bear in mind you validated my general statement to begin with, then quoted me denying its truthfulness.
You started this.
I was just fishing for daps.
See?

People don't wanna work for low wages anymore. Give people a livable wage where they can live comfortably and people wouldn't be as picky.

I’m befuddled at people not being able to grasp how the current economic climate doesn’t benefit the majority in the ways it did in the past :dahell:

People are only going to eat so much shyt, once the taste of shyt outweighs the benefits you get from eating said shyt the people will naturally adjust and the market will show that.

But the elites and their bootlickers( many of whom post on this very site) just don’t understand because they are used to and assume there is a “natural order” to the world so:

“how dare these people stop eating the shyt we have piled on to their plate even though we keep piling more shyt on the plate, while taking away more and more benefits they got for eating it in the past in an effort to hoard more for ourselves”.

Nobody has a PENSION anymore, when at one point that was pretty common even at factory jobs….people can barely afford a decent house in many places even if they make okay money and work hard, The cost of a university education is ridiculous and a bachelors degree barely gets you entry level work in many places, health care is ridiculously expensive and jobs fight tooth and nail to not have to pay for those benefits ( they also fought against “Obamacare”),

inflation has outpaced wages by a large margin

This all makes sense from where I view it and things will probably get worse.

We always look to the people for blame but the other side has let greed get so far out of control that they are shooting themselves in the foot.

And now they are having a fit because people aren’t eating the shyt they are piling on the plate .:yeshrug:

You have to hustle and grind to put the meal on the plate, folks working paycheck to paycheck, that's the reality. The wages are too low and hours are too long.

Most jobs either work you too much or don't pay you enough.

Or have some sort of shyt situation going on in the workplace
