Because a lot of Americans think they can become part of the smaller group if they work hard enough.
Yep. Some people genuinly believe they are ‘temporary embarrassed billionaires’
I personally was like that. I originally wanted to be a small entrepreneur through hard work, then the gatekeeping of said “hard work” radicalized me to the left.
Because the 400 pay a metric fucktonne of money to convince you that they aren’t greedy.
Easy I see and interact with lazy people everyday who abuse the system and refuse to try to better themselves I have had to the best of my knowledge zero interaction with the richest people of the world in my life. People see what’s right in front of them as the issue even if it’s not.
That’s a pretty bleak view of the people around you. Are you a manager by any chance? Lol
I wouldn’t consider it bleak I consider myself lazy I think it’s part of being human to be like water and go the path of least resistance. I was a loser until my dad put a shotgun in my face and said I was joining the Marine Corp went to college after to smoke weed and party met my wife there and only by wanting to get laid did I start getting good grades and applying to internships to keep her impressed started out in consulting in the late 90s hated every minute of it but after having kids and wanting nothing but the best for them I went for promotions worked around the clock and made partner 11 years later. Most people I talk to are the same way we hate work but have some sort of golden handcuff that keeps them going. I’d much rather just do nothing and if circumstances were different I’d be doing nothing and be happy I’m happy now as well but the cost of this happiness is much higher.
So to you you’re lazy bc you didn’t want to do that stuff? I feel like most people would consider you and anyone else like you not lazy since you got up and did it all despite that feeling. I think everyone gets those feelings and what makes someone lazy is submitting to them and not getting what needs to be done done. Personally.
Propaganda and ignorance.
