They try this bullshit for generations now.

You couldn't get gen x to work for free, you couldn't get us millennials to work for free, what makes you think you'll be able to get the next ones to work for free lol.

Not sure how working for free would help with that though.

Because when everyone except the upper classes is financially insecure you would be willing to do anything at a chance to not be, including giving away your labor for free for a chance of a paycheck maybe.
