While almost half of all small businesses cite a lack of training as the reason for not filling jobs, a small group of respondents in the CNBC/SurveyMonkey poll (21 percent of the total sample) chose "other" in regard to the challenges in finding skilled labor, citing laziness and that some applicants claim wages are too low or are unable to pass drug tests.
Bipartisan decisions by Congress members who are too beholden to lobbyists; too many Americans falsely believing we live in a merit-based society in which hard work always pays off and needing a "handout" is evidence of a person's laziness or refusal to take sensible risks; and a higher education system that has become as much about status signaling as society building have all contributed to our current mess.
As Fleabag, Waller-Bridge embodies the charming naughtiness of the British tradition—she cites Michael Caine's Alfie as an influence—while forcing herself to reckon with it: Whether she's relaying Fleabag's ill-advised sexual encounters, her tense relationship with her uptight sister, or the moment when she finally comes to terms with the destruction her selfishness and laziness have wrought on her life, Waller-Bridge is the show.
Probably complex economics and social chemistry are at work mixing a drive for personal identity; laziness in really learning about history and these problems; a need to display virtue; a technology era that gives massive numbers of people the impression they understand and have useful opinions about issues they know nothing about; an unforgiving labor market; and a social media environment that doesn't give most people the time needed to really study and learn.
The sheer skill of draftsmanship similarly shines through in intervals as a key element underpinning his freedom to paint naïvely if he desired; as late as the iPad paintings are charcoal pieces observing his native Yorkshire, proof that he can draw if he wants to (though frequently he doesn't: In his recent show of 80 portraits painted in recent years at the Royal Academy, the work was embarrassing in its wanton laziness).
In October, he attacked rap music for its improper lyrics and supporting rape culture, while over the years he's been charged with repeatedly denigrating Black people in his personal and political dealings: Reportedly saying "laziness is a trait in Blacks"; spearheading the racist conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in the U.S.; refusing to condemn his white supremacist supporters; and wooing Black voters by assuring them they live in a hell hole and have nothing to lose.
More managers even believe that the heavily criticized millennial generation will be harder workers than Generation Z. Though millennials have long been plagued by stereotypes about a lack of work ethic and laziness, millennial managers harbor these same resentments toward Gen Z. Almost one-third of millennial respondents say that it will be more difficult to manage employees from Gen Z compared to older generations and 28 percent say it will be more difficult to train Gen Z employees.
Call Me By Your Name is far less concerned with the gender politics of its central couple than it is with the connection between two souls — a concept that sadly still seems foreign (little wonder the film is a product of France and Italy), but one that adds a welcome depth to Guadagnino's languid narrative (he wrote the script with his I Am Love collaborator Walter Fasano and Maurice's James Ivory), which unspools with all the laziness of a sticky midsummer afternoon.
The Nice attack, Trump, the cop in America who shot that black guy with his hands in the air but was apparently actually trying to shoot an autistic man holding a toy car, the car bombing in Iraq, Brexit, the Orlando attack, all the celebrities I like dying, ISIS, my carpal tunnel, my phone bill, my overdraft charges, my overdraft in itself as something that exists, the lack of lunch options near my office, the price of plane tickets, my brain-aching laziness.
