People under about 45 were told there was this grand bargain that if they worked hard and studied that they would never be reduced to "flipping burgers". Said bargain was made when those jobs were supposed to be the last refuge of adults who couldn't do better, or for teenagers just entering the workforce. Decades of globalization and financial shenanigans have voided that bargain, and now those same people who said "work hard and study" want you to flip burgers. The middle class lifestyles that the people making those bargains got to enjoy are no longer a thing, and they lack the wherewithal to realize or understand this.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm done making these bargains.
