i mean, this mostly applies to american mindset. "work hard" is a function of progress; in the absence of progress, it stops making sense. and people who only knew how to work hard their entire life suddenly see that way of life ending.

there's a lot of americans who think that way. "work hard and you can make it". nah

a lot of people are realising that hard work != success. A lot of people are quiet quitting and other shit.

Quiet quitting fell out of favor when businesses simply started laying people off. Wild how that works.
