Young people are not lazier than previous generations.

I'm so tired of hearing this from everyone 30+. We are not lazy, we simply have no hope for the future. Whereas someone in the past may have had hopes and ambitions of buying a house, building a career, and starting a family (The American Dream), most young people have no upward mobility and prices are increasing 10x faster than pay rates. If we quit a job, it is not because we are lazy. It is because we are tired of being taken advantage of by people who had opportunities and options that we never had.
