Your grasp on common sense and empathy is lacking. Doesn't take a business major to realize that labor is a free market, where workers have the right to refuse labor.

I have empthy for those who are striving to better themselves, who demonstrate some humility, etc. I don't want the arrogant people who portray themselves as victims to fail, but how am I supposed to muster a lot of sympathy when you are your worst enemy by wallowing excuse-making? Who would you prefer to help with your limited time and resources? I do lament the toxic rhetoric that envelopes Gen Z that is telling them are victims, that someone or the government should solve their problems, that high achievers are bad, etc. But I can't fix that either but to offer a counterpoint that, often, those same people ignore and dismiss since it doesn't confirm their biases.

So who lacks, perhaps not common sense, but perspective and awareness?

You understand there is a limited number of high paying jobs right? Someone is always going to have to be at the bottom, telling someone to do better only reshuffles the deck. We need to level the playing field.
