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.

Hard work, at least the right kind of hard work, can help a person succeed today, but it is not a guarantee. I see sanitation workers, roofers, shrimp boat crews, and others working extremely hard with little hope of success.
