10. I see a lot of "minimum Monday" only 24x7

We should focus on that. With AI and automation in the picture, both the old and young should be able to work less and live more. Somehow, we have let ourselves get into what Elizabeth Warren calls a two-income trap. And, lately, once in the trap, large numbers of people simply check out and do the minimum, or less.

It's a witch's brew of administrative bloat and collaborative, mass freeloader fraud. Leadership needs to be minimally staffed, tough love leadership and competent. Weak, excessive, and unqualified administration leads to something similar to the old joke about the Communists. The administrators pretend to lead and the workers pretend to work (or play sick for a living).
