Slaves.
Reminds of the meme, In 1964 the minimum wage was five 90% silver quarters, worth over $25 today.
Gramps could work, save his money, buy a house and have a little left over. We were incentivized to work. Today, it feels like dollar will collapse at any moment, it doesn't buy anything and you'll never afford a house. So yeah, it's hard to exit the system. It's a clever slave system you can't leave even if they unshackle you.
That is such an iconic scene in Ben Hur. It has come to my mind often in my working career.
When I was in a cubicle I would think of that scene from the movie Brazil, where he becomes a winged god and flies through the clouds with that awesome soundtrack.
It's honestly one of the best scenes, besides the chariot race of course which is the most expert film making. All of that would be CGI now, le sigh...
