I agree with your point about hard work. Our society has gotten a bit soft generally. Our standard of living has been tops in the world and I think it’s natural / human nature that people generally take their foot off the gas, like NHLers that finally get that huge payday- you usually see a steep work ethic drop off once they’ve made it.
You will always have some in society that work hard, and some that don’t though. It’s also interesting that generally colder nations have a higher work ethic than warmer ones (not hard or fast, but generally based on GDP / production metrics).
