Whoopi Goldberg Faces Backlash for Criticizing Millennials' Work Ethic Amid Ongoing Housing Crisis

Goldberg, boasting a $60 million net worth, dismisses record high inflation and soaring house prices, instead blaming millennials and Gen Z for alleged laziness; viewers and online users brand her stance as ignorant and out of touch.

Whoopi Goldberg, on her show 'The View', criticized Millennials and Gen Z for their work ethic, blaming their inability to get on the housing ladder on their desire to only work 4 hours a day.
She dismissed the impact of record-high inflation, soaring house prices, and high student debt, stating that if youngsters want a house, they cannot work a four-day work week and should 'bust their behinds' like her generation did.
Goldberg's comments were challenged by her millennial co-host Alyssa Farah, who highlighted the economic struggles faced by their generation, including the housing crisis, huge student debt and unaffordable costs of starting a family.
Despite Goldberg's assertions, research shows that housing affordability is worse now than during the 2008 financial crash, and over half of 18 to 34-year-olds believe it is much harder to purchase a home or get promoted at work now.
Goldberg's comments have sparked backlash online, with young people branding her as 'out of touch' and highlighting that she, in fact, only works about four hours a week for a salary of $8 million per year.
