Not to be overly dismissive but you just sound like a Boomer ranting on Facebook here. The "no one works anymore" line for example is directly contradicted by the unemployment percent which is currently sitting at all-time historic lows.

If you wanted to disagree without being dismissive, you should have omitted the first sentence.

Regarding "no one works", regardless of whether it's an exaggeration, it does not mean "nobody is employed".

Is employment at an all-time high? It appears to be down 4 points from the high of the last decade (64.4 in ‘00 to ‘23’s 60.3), unemployment only being a “historical low” if you compare the last 3 years, as since 2020 (56.8) it’s been, slowly, regaining the post-‘08 high during ‘19 (60.8).
