It’s easier
to think of someone as “lazy” than to face the fact that school costs
too much, that better jobs are inaccessible, that childcare is
unaffordable, that people are forced to work so hard for so little that
there’s no way they could have enough energy to attempt schooling or
finding better work, and that what we give to people who can’t work is
insufficient to the point of being shameful. I could say that calling
people lazy is, in itself, lazy, but it’s not just an intellectual
shortcut. It’s a defense mechanism.
