People died in the war, fighting for freedom, not much older than these young people, who apparently haven't the initative to source the amenities we already have locally.

Ahh, yes. The "I'm Bored" brigade. I forgot about them.
Let us take for our example today Mr Joseph Steiner, who came to this country from France with nary a penny to his name. After a short period working for a local manufacturer he had the nouse to realise that he could shift more profitably for himself and so he borrowed and begged enough to set himself up in business. By the time of his death he was worth Millions, and provided employment for thousands. He sponsored local education and was such an all round nice person that practically the whole town turned out for his funeral.
There is more to this man's story, of course, but, the one thing he did not do, was sit on his spotty backside waiting for someone to hand him his life on a plate.
The moral of this story? Providence helps those who first help themselves!
