It should be noted that the rest of the 1999 quote says “They all want to work in front of a computer and make lots of…”
Presumably that ends with “money.” I’d wager every one of these articles is complaining about people not wanting to do some sort of physical labor for a pittance. Damn you lazy young folk! Always wanting better…
Edit: It does, in fact, say “money.” Here’s a Newsweek article that appears to have all those quotes. Most of the articles are taken from people talking about, you guessed it, hard labor. Fruit picking, mining, etc. There’s a few that talk about work ethic and taking pride in your work… Damn you kids for wanting lives and families and such! Do your work and be proud!!!
