"Pain is good and adversity builds character!"
"Pain is just weakness leaving the body."
"I've never seen hard work kill anyone..."
-- 1LT Winter, Series Commander, Fox Company, 2nd RTBN, MCRD San Diego, CA. 1979
What is happening to Western Society? We once embraced the Protestant Work Ethic and aspired as citizens to make a positive contribution to our society, rather than be a drain on society. There was virtue in giving to others out of one's abundance and shame in being on the receiving end of charity. Today, it seems that nobody cares about things like honor, integrity, character... Those that do work, don't care about the quality of their work; they just slop their work and their only interest is getting paid. They feel entitled to high wages for performing substandard work. Yes, I'm generalizing, but I challenge you to defend those who don't want to work and instead, prefer to let others support them. Like ticks on a dog, too many and they will kill their host. This country is in danger of going insolvent. THAT! Not Global Warming/Climate Change is the greatest threat to the future of our Constitutional Republic!

I feel like perhaps you didn't even read the article. Just in the first paragraph is about a guy who worked in toxic environments. Jobs with no sick pay, barely any paid time off, having to work while sick, etc.
People are tired of working for toxic employers who don't care about them and work them into the ground with little to no benefits.
No one wants "higher wages for substandard work." People want to be able to have a livable wage. The minimum wage hasn't kept up with the times and hasn't been a livable wage in like 50 years.
Our society is messed up. We spend 65 years killing ourselves at jobs and for what? Maybe 20 years to enjoy life? It's depressing. Other societies don't function like this and guess what? People in those places are happier and more successful.
