      What, in your mind, does “working hard” look like? Do you think the average lower- and middle-class adult doesn’t already work hard? Especially harder than they did 20, 40, and 60 years ago? Can you name a time when you think people worked harder than they do today to achieve the same level of comfort and happiness? Do you have to go all the way back to pre-agricultural times?

        People in the depression definitely worked harder than people do now. Jobs were like “selling tomatoes from a cart” and “guy who sands the paint off old boxes to sell them as new ones”.

        The 60s and 70s were a time of unprecedented increase in standard of living for many people in the US. You could see the Rolling Stones live for like $5, and pay for a car (in full) with a part time job. We are not going to see that again, so don’t compare life now to that.
