Now that's funny! Younger generation won't get the reference. LOL 😁
Yes, born a hippie, flowered into a parent, will die grateful.
Love the song!
They're all too busy collecting unemployment to be bothered with work...

If you grew up hippy
When I applied for a summer job back in 1967, I was turned away because "We do not hire people with beards!"
(I am still the Flower Child, pre-Hippy.)

Not exactly what they advertised about it.

We do still get it... those were the weirdly dressed, long-haired Uncles and Aunts, who smelt of strange tobacco and stale beer. We all had a few of them in our families. They were never allowed to baby-sit us, house-mind while we went on vacation, or borrow our pocket money.
They were tragic heroes; resplendent in their tie-dye uniforms of uniformed rebellion, soothsayers of an ancient wisdom about living rather than working, and custodians of a dimly-glimpsed Nirvana of inaccessible music, Strange Magic, and self-medication.
We didn’t understand them. We adored them, from afar.

I wonder about UPS - they didn’t use to allow beards.
