Further. You can't pay rent with food stamps. Where are they getting that money from? Tell me so I can sign up. I feel like a fool over here going to work everyday

Not just the youngins….. though I did see one explain why they younger crowd doesn’t want to work. Talked about a family member working at McDonald’s and when they became a manager started college and paid for it with McDonald’s earning. Not doing that working at McDonald’s today.

Also not just the youngins. Google working age male not working. Lot’s of Men 25-54 did not come back or just join the work force.

You average $21 an hour 40 hours a week you make about $3500 a month. You take 800 for taxes medical and such Leaves you with $2600. Where I live you can’t afford rent, food and gases with that.

Another problem is moving back in with parents. No rent to pay, doesn’t affect parents as their mortgage doesn’t change or better yet it’s paid off.

So no mortgage no car payment…. Food aid and pretty much your living not working.

Same crap in Ontario, Canada. A lot of businesses close because they can’t get workers. Someone hit the right word “ENTITLED “.
When I worked after school I got 60 cents an hour and was happy to have it for spending. My first full time job after graduation paid $58.00 a week. Those were better times. I was always thankful of a job.

I had car club of 8 cars, 16 people, heading out for a lunch date at a nice country club an hour out of town. The reservation person was giving us static about fitting us in. We arrived to an almost empty restaurant at noon.

The whole time I thought about how the excellent waitress would have missed out on 16 tips ($50 estimated) if we had not persisted with the reservation person…. Two of our group are members there.

Makes you wonder if some of the woes at companies may be self induced.

We have created a society where the lazy and entitled end up at the same finish line you or I end up at yet they didn't have to lift a finger to get there. I have had roommates that couldn't pay bills month after month, yet they never became homeless, never starved. Why? Because society(or in that case, me) will prop them up. Those same lazy folks are the same ones that are now realizing this, and just not working, period.

So the person that never managed to get your McDonald's order right is now not even present to screw that up.... they're at home playing their PS5 and texting on their Iphone 14 they somehow magically purchased through osmosis.

At my job, that is definitely true. The Chief AND the CEO are RABID liberals and (I honestly believe) are Intentionally trying to burn down my department, with their negative attitudes towards police officers and their "Oh, poor baby" way of looking at KNOWN FELONS. When I went on Medical Leave Sept 30th, we were WAY BELOW minimal staffing requirements, a "skeleton crew" would have been an improvement.

Since then, NOT ONE PERSON has been hired to try and fill staffing and a few more have quit/are looking for other jobs. There are supervisors posting listings for police/dispatch jobs opportunities AT OTHER DEPARTMENTS on Facebook.

Not only has the current administration been actively trying to get the ship to sink, they have set it on fire as well. The "rats" have already left the ship, the only people remaining are the ones that haven't been picked up by another department YET, but the snakes are still there making sure the ship does go down in flames.
