[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the Today Show, but this had to be the dumbest segment they've ever done (and as someone who watches almost every day for years, this is saying A LOT). I mean this beats the time Camila Alves showed Matt Lauer had to make a cake stand by turning over wine glasses: https://www.today.com/home/camila-alves-shares-4-diy-projects-you-already-own-materials-t47071)

I especially loved how the hosts, who make 8 figures, were talking about how you should just work hard LOL[/quote]

The whole premise of the American dream, that hard work leads to success is failing under the scrutiny of social media and the internet.  [b]We can track someones background much more closely now, and we realize so many people get to where they are because of who their parents were, what elite private high school they attended etc; the web of nepotism is basically publically available now via wikipedia and public information sites[/b] -- in the past you only knew about an executives bio from their corporate blurb.  Now we see: "oh i see, I can't really just work hard and make it to that path" and decide to just accept our lot and live our lives.

I believe the quiet quitting is actually the reason for the work shortages -- if everyone is doing just 10% less, that means we have 10% less labor available all of a sudden![/quote]

NP. Perfect example of this - the first thing that comes out of this kid’s mouth will probably be ‘I went to Yale’. But he’s as dumb as rocks. If you ask him if he was a legacy admit and how much his father donated he’d be offended though. The next Congressman.
