    The “no one wants to work” mantra is just simply a strategy to feed into conservative talking points on a wide variety of work policy issues. It’s just simply bullshit; somewhere there’s a meme that shows people using that quote for the last century and a half in American newspapers.

      I always complete that phrase for them when I hear it. “…under those conditions and for that pay.”

        I usually say “I never wanted to work. You literally have to pay me to show up.”
