That cycle will continue until we're extinct, because almost without exception, we conflate generations with age ranges... so every generation will think the one behind it is lazy because they judge that next generation when it's made up of a bunch of kids.

And no shit, kids aren't great workers :shockedpikachu:

The kids grow up, but the reputation lingers... until the next batch of kids enters the stage, and wouldn't ya know it, them kids are absolutely shit workers! :shockedpikachu:

Rinse and repeat until the oxygen concentration in our atmosphere is no longer sufficient to support human life... so... couple more decades? /shrug
