    “Nobody wants to work” always has the unspoken second part, “for what I want to pay.”

      It’s super interesting to me that “not wanting to work” is a bad thing. I talk to a lot of boomers who doesn’t understand how younger people don’t want to work.

      Well you got brainwashed into a 40+ hour work week, and you were able to buy a house for $5000 and were able to support 4 children and a stay at home wife. A 20 year old now knows that they will never own a house and don’t have time for a family because they need 2 jobs to buy something that wasn’t made by slaves in a temu factory.

        Lol I said this to a cashier once when she apologized for my wait (IDC tbh I saw they were busy and tempered my expectations). She said, “nobody wants to work anymore!” And I asked her, “of course they don’t, nobody wants to be at a David’s Bridal at 11am on a Saturday. Do YOU want to be here, working, right now??” And she was Gobsmacked lmao. I wasn’t mean to her or anything. She just. Couldn’t fathom it. So odd.
