Every generation has complained about the next generation as being
lazy. I think it has been programmed into our genes.

I have read such thoughts emanating from peoples as far back as the ancient
Greeks and Romans. Indeed, you are correct.

Thing is, today it's institutionalized, subsidized and glorified.
