Is this a coincidence or is this happening more broadly across society?

Not working is common. Unfortunately we have some people like that
I know a lot of people who got sober during Covid.
Friends of yours?
They always say you can judge a person by the company that they keep.
Are you friends of P?
Who cares if people become adicts, if suicides increased during lockdowns? Who cares about people left to die alone because we didn't allow family members to see each other?
Only COVID deaths matter. If those people die because of the measures we took, who cares?
Antivaxxer resorts to strawman, shocker! If anything antivaxxers were the ones unconcerned (maybe excited by?) any type of death during the pandemic; all too happy to plug up hospitals because of their irresponsible selfishness and cause unnecessary deaths as a results. Sad!
Imagine disparaging someone for not working. Soulless capitalist sheep.
Go on...?
That's why we need U.B.I. you shouldn't have to work if you don't want to.
Get off your knees! Slurp slurp
That is what most rich kids do.
Nobody is forced to work. What are you talking about?
I want our society to become The Mouse Utopia.
Whatever it is I’m sure it’s Joe Biden’s fault.
The share of men in their prime working years who aren't employed or looking for work has been dropping for decades. People point to lots of causes, such as the decrease in traditionally male occupations that don't require a college degree, the decrease of family formation/marriage rates, the rise of certain drug epidemics, and men with criminal records struggling to find decent-paying work. It's not a new problem, but it does account for a huge amount of men nationally.
COVID pulled back the curtain on "The American Way" and many people saw the truth for the first time in their lives. This doesn't excuse the stoners and the drunks however, many folks discovered that they are merely line items on some executive's budget spreadsheet and that a bad quarter or two means 50% of the employees at any company are disposable.
Talent doesn't matter. Personality doesn't matter. Age or experience doesn't matter. The C-Suite and the investors will save themselves at the expense of the commons. Knowing that, why work yourself into an early grave with 60+ hour work weeks and the associated stress? Corporate America is losing control of the masses hence, why many old guard concerns are forcing people back to offices, deriding the young population as shiftless lazy slackers, and supporting candidates that promote quasi-fascist policies to get everyone back in line. This nation's oligarchs only thrive when they can keep everyone spending and working feverishly like good little drones.
There are large sections of American society that never work and have no intention of ever working. It's not related to Covid, although Covid probably increased the numbers of such people.
Trump is.
