The work environment now? Eating from what's in a dumpster I suppose. I worked at a heat treat facility for 2 years, 7 days a week with 1 day off a month, only to lose my job because the company moved to Mexico. Even working that many hours I would break even after the bills were paid. That was awhile back. Today any young buck getting into the workforce, even working the hours I did, wouldn't be able to even pay his rent for a shitty apartment.
There shouldn't be any mystery of why many just gave up and don't want to work. The Chinese call it "let it rot"
But so much of that reality seems "long ago and far away ". I am sorry but the world as it exists today seems very alien to me on so many levels. I feel like I don't understand most of what I see around me. It is unsettling to a certain degree because I understand the benefit of progress, but maybe life should be based on certain principles that don't change with time...something akin to The Ten Commandments for the foundation of the moral code in a society. We have changed and lost so much in the process.
...we were taught to work...
...I can remember countless times of "holding the flashlight" for dad...
...little did I know, I was actually going to school....
Yep and back then when one worked he could live on it....not so much now
...again, how does one survive without a livelihood?
