How easy is it to mine? Can most any proletariat do it? I’m new to this area of bitcoin.

Theoretically everyone can do it. You just have to invest time and money first.
Realistically, it is difficult and expensive to mine BTC now. It requires pricey hardware (ASICs) and a lot of power.
Individuals can still buy consumer level ASICs join mining pools but it's a high bar outside the grasp of most working class people.
They'd be better served earning sats in other ways if they don't have disposable income for expensive hardware and power bills.
Industrial Bitcoin mining is a highly competitive business. You need to have an access to cheap electricity and cheap credit.
It's much easier to do what you're good at and convert your fiat proceeds into sats⚡
I will have to look into it. I get subsidized electricity from the government so who knows 😂 maybe it’s in my future
