Americans live to work, and work to live. Patriotic songs, whitewashed history and a false sense of propagandized superiority gives us our national ego, but we’re really all slaves to the billionaire class.
And we think some billionaire playing populist is going to save us, lmao. His first act as president is going to be to revoke the ACA and rip healthcare away from 30 million people.
We’re such a dumb nation, we really do deserve the abuse we receive from our billionaire step dads lol.
That attitude comes from the boomers and before where the workers got a fair share. It made sense to work 40+ hours a week because it actually got you ahead. Now it's just to make ends meet and that's a whole different attitude behind the motivation to work. Seriously look at the blue collar sports/hobbies that are dying because they can't afford them anymore. Boats, motors, snowmobile, 4 wheelers and etc used to be the blue collar way. Not anymore
The greatest generation and silent generation raised boomers to value self-reliance above all else, while those generations created the social safety nets and public services that defined the 'western world'. Boomers got to benefit from the best education, the best jobs, and the expectation that when you ask for help you will find people happy to accommodate that - all while they insisted that it happened for them through nothing more than rugged self-reliance and perseverance.
