Has work ethic deteriorated in recent years?

Work ethic of people have really deteriorated significantly since COVID. These people who want to work from home four days a week, three days a week—you know, everybody's complaining. Today, interest rates are going up, gas prices are so high, I can't afford to pay the mortgage, I can't pay the heating in my house.

Um, by the way, can I work four days a week? Yeah, excuse me, it doesn't work that way! When I was a kid, man, or you can't pay your bills, you get a second job. You know, you're working 70 hours a week; you don't work out 20.

I think COVID had really done society an injustice by reducing the amount of drive to work. And to reduce, I think, this work-home balance is an oxymoron. So if you want to succeed in business or financially or something like that, you can't have a balance in home and work.

You have to be driven; you have to work, man. That's what it is. If you want to have that balance, it's kind of much more difficult time succeeding because all those people who you're competing with are really seriously working harder. And how are you going to possibly compete with them?
