At my age I've seen a drastic change in society from my youth to now.
One thing I hear over and over is "work ethic".
I expect sociologists could tell you all sorts of explanations for the change.
But simply put, people in America today are taught to stick their hand out expecting soneone to give them sonething for nothing, instead of looking for work.
Thats a great generalization but there's truth to it.
A lot of it depends on if you were raised by liberals or conservatives.

You can always tell who never went to college...or graduated high school.
Sociologists will tell you that you are an idiot. This "work ethic" stuff is literally what EVERY generation says about the younger generation and it goes back THOUSANDS of years.
No, Bill, the younger generation hasn't changed. You're just a whiny boomer.
What has changed? The price of everything compared to wages.
50 years ago, you could pay for an entire year of college on a summer job.
40 years ago, it was NORMAL for someone with a high school diploma to afford a home and family of 4 on just their salary.
30 years ago, the price of health insurance was an afterthought in your paycheck.
20 years ago, we were more worried about kids eating junk food than we were about being able to afford to get groceries at all.
You call it hand outs because you are too damn self centered to realize how good you had it.
@#29 ... which makes it more funny. ...
I disagree, strongly.
It is not funny when Americans suffer. Period, full stop.
imo, it is sad that Republicans actively want their constituents to suffer.
