True dat. A lot of people would love to work - making art, preparing meals, teaching students, protecting innocents, prosecuting criminals, building things, knowledge discovery, curing sickness, caring for needs, etc. - if only the managers would allow it rather than impose all those constraints for profit or no reason except to sound (and be) bossy.

Oh, and also for proper pay - at least enough to be able to eat and afford a home. And a LOT of dedicated people skimp REALLY heavily on the latter, I mean workers doing the job for a fraction of what they are truly "worth".

"But nobody wants to work anymore" is code for "they don't want to do what I say, how I say, if I say, for next to no pay".

I'll do a LOT of work for a friend for free, but not for an ass-hat unless compensated appropriately or as close to that as I can manage.
