That has been all replaced by the internet. There's a reason you see massive amazon warehouses springing up all over the place.
Getting up and going to work everyday is half the battle. You take that away, people start to get lazy, it”s inevitable. Then when the government starts paying some of them to sit at home and do nothing, they have no incentive to work at all anymore. That’s what’s been happening the last few years with those covid payouts. Fewer and fewer people want to work anymore.
Where I work, some of the hardest workers you would least expect are suddenly retiring in their 50’s now. People’s parents are dying, so they’re inheriting some money, and deciding to go ahead and spend it, instead of passing it down as it was passed to them. And the retirement packages for this next generation are non-existent, so this cycle is non-repeatable.
Maybe that’s just all happening here where I live. But I can’t even find anyone to come work on my home now whenI need it. Or if I do, the work quality is shoddy. I live in a gated community and our cars are now being broken into at night if they’re left out of the garage now as well. These are all trends showing the end of the working class. Again, maybe it’s just here, but I doubt it.
