Antiwork

Can we collectively come up with a simple counter-argument to “Nobody wants to work anymore”?

“Nobody wants to work any more” seems to be a catch all phrase for the stress on our current economic system. There are obviously a lot of factors that cause our current “shortage” of workers in the job market for businesses that don't (or can't) pay a living wage. “Nobody wants to work any more” is only six words. We can argue for days against these people about the actual circumstances that discourage humans from actively choosing to trade their time for low-wage occupations, but I'd like to have a somewhat sarcastic or flippant response to “Nobody wants to work any more” that negates or invalidates their viewpoint. What six (more or less) words would you pick to respond to “Nobody wants to work any more”?
