Having a job and being successful at it, contributed to their sense of pride.

Sense of pride, self, sufficiency - I don't get how some people can happily live off others for years on end and still face the mirror daily.

The way our GVT is printing and handing out money, to those not in need, is deteriorating work ethic. Many Americans are taking the easy road, or better put, the low road.

It is at both ends - stops some people from working, plus the handouts to the companies make people say "what is the point, it is rigged"

With all of the fiat being passed around, you would think that the people controlling the purse strings would be able to get a handle on important issues like health care, hunger, equality, racism, and education.

Covid is the new cashcow that replaced terrorism. Trillions are being injected, extracted and converted to assets for the few, at the expense of everyone else.

Sometimes I wonder if I have work ethic here - or an obsession ;D
