Yeah I was being tongue in cheek. But I mean I hear people say that but I can think of one trust fund kid I know close to my age that has never had a job. But literally every single person I know has at least one job. Granted, I’m not the most socializing person but I literally can’t think of anyone.

A lot of the low tier places that claim they can’t find anyone.. to be honest I wouldn’t want to work there either, and I’ve had consecutive employment since I was 16. If I got laid off and absolutely had to, to feed my family, sure. But if I could live off savings and sell some non-essentials till I found a better job, I probably would.

I think there are a lot of factors to it. Covid made a lot of people retire early. So there was an upward shift there. We blanket deported a huge workforce, even though I can’t seem to get people to decide if the immigrants were stealing our jobs, or taking our money by welfare. And if they weren’t paying taxes, or working, why ICE forced the IRS to help them, but I digress.

I did see Trump’s plan (or idea, idk if there is any action to it). to allow self deports to come back if their employer vouches for them. I haven’t seen a thread on that made yet, to get an everyone’s opinion.

But yeah I’m with Dave Chappell. If we gotta get our early teens out of school to make iPhones, just for them to cost $4000 a phone, then “leave that shit in China where it belongs.”
