I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. Not to hijack the thread about housing, but Our media, government, and to an extent parents of Gen Zers have been paying/encouraging these kids to not work for a long time.

Even if you believed that we have this mass of able-bodied labor that isn’t working, and I don’t think we do, this isn’t happening in Texas. Texas is a booming economy and there is no free lunch. This place has a social safety net that lags most places.

It’s been happening everywhere for decades. The male 25-54 labor participation rate has been on a mostly steady decline since the 1960’s.

USA Today: why are men dropping out of the workforce?
