I can hang a sign out asking someone to work for minimum wage during evening hours in an area that requires them to live with 3 other roommates in a 2 bedroom apartment with a 60min commute on an erratic bus.
But I would not classify people not taking me up on this offer as being lazy.
I never said I had a definition of lazy. I just said that some people are lazy and some aren't. You can't make a blanket statement saying all young people are not lazy. Just pointing out that I've never seen so many help wanted signs as I do now.
At the same time they need to get out of that situation as soon as possible.
It’s one thing to look for a job and not find anything - it’s quite another to not have a job for years because the pay/job isn’t what you like and you are burdening the taxpayer in the meantime.
They do, our whole quality of life is based on the bottom 3 quintiles not having better options. It’s a unique situation that COVID caused the government to broadly hand out assistance, giving people the ability to not have to subject themselves to those low wage-low quality of life at work positions.

It is possible to me, if I were a low wage worker, to look at the data for the past 5 decades and conclude the probability to “get out of that situation” is sufficiently low to warrant opting out of the game entirely.
