Hi, millennial here.

Anyone questioning the work ethic of gen z is themselves lazy, stupid, entitled, and has never worked a day in their life.

Life in the US and West in general is harder now than at any point in the last 60 years. Gen z works more hours for lower pay than you did at the same age, or than I did. And I worked a lot of hours for shit pay.

I will never own a house. Moving to the middle of nowhere doesn't work, there's no jobs and the houses arent much cheaper. It will take the death of capitalism or massive crippling depopulation for me to own a home. These are incontrovertible facts, and its worse for the average Gen z or alpha.
