Ah, the audacity of youth! It seems today's generation wants to skip the hard work and jump straight to the rewards. They demand a $20 minimum wage while offering a $5 work ethic. This isn't just an exaggeration—it's a reflection of a culture that values entitlement over effort.
Young workers today are vocal about wanting higher wages. They argue that the cost of living has skyrocketed and that they need more money to survive. While it's true that living expenses have increased, so has the expectation for what an entry-level job should provide.
The sad reality is that many of these young workers lack the dedication, perseverance, and grit that previous generations brought to the table. They want top dollar but aren't willing to put in the top-tier effort that justifies it. Employers are left scratching their heads, wondering why they should pay more for less.
What happened to the work ethic that built this country? What happened to earning your keep and proving your worth before demanding higher pay? This generation has been coddled, given participation trophies, and told they’re special from day one. No wonder they think they deserve the world on a silver platter!
If we cave to these demands without expecting a corresponding increase in productivity, we're setting ourselves up for economic disaster. Businesses will suffer, prices will rise, and the very cost of living that these young workers complain about will only get worse.
