Sure. We don't work hard. Talk to me when you have spent 25 years in American kitchens to fund your own businesses, the first 5 of which never took off, but also consistently failed to drive me into bankruptcy. The 6th one finally works for me, and I'm finally not having to work 18 hour days 7 days a week.

Yeah. That's definitely working harder than most people have throughout history for less.

My bad.

the first 5 of which never took off, but also consistently failed to drive me into bankruptcy.

Lol, don't blame your failed business ventures on me. If you think 'hard work' is all it takes to make a successful business, I'm sorry, that's just a testament to why 5 of your businesses failed.

and I’m finally not having to work 18 hour days 7 days a week.

Let me guess, you're also living a higher quality of life than the vast majority of people ever to live while working considerably less. And here you are, still finding ways to complain.

Please take your complaints to the people subsistence farming or picking through landfills for a living. All your post does is prove my point that you don't understand what hard work really is, or what the word need really means.
