Meme with two sections. Top shows a blurred audience and a banner that reads People no longer believe working hard will lead to a better life, survey shows. Bottom shows caption the working class above two side by side cartoon panels of a male starship officer in a gold uniform. In the first he rests his face on his hand, looking unimpressed. In the second he covers his mouth as if pretending to be shocked. The joke suggests workers are not surprised by the survey.
