Is hard work still enough in 2025 in America? 🇺🇸🔥

My take: Hard work still matters, but it’s no longer a guarantee. With rising costs, stagnant wages, and fewer safety nets, effort alone doesn’t always lead to success. Timing, access, and support play a bigger role than ever.

you have to work smarter not harder.
we went through a period just after COVID when it was hard to find employees - not the case any more.

and wow, what is AI going to do to us - probably remove a ton of jobs from the workforce.
