While there are employers who will pay for a quality workforce, a majority rely on desperation and a saturated labor market to pay as little as possible.  While covid temporarily upset the apple cart, the American corporatists are climbing all over themselves to get back to the business of exploiting desperation.  Labor is just another commodity.  A commodity's value is directly related to its scarcity.

You obviously do not own or help manage a business.  We can't find employees and half of the people we do hire suck.  Because of this, our wages have never been higher.  Like 75% higher for certain positions compared to 5 years ago.  Last I read, only 62% of able bodied Americans were working.  LOL.  Yeah, corporate America is capitalizing on desperate Americans ...

Similar problems at this side of Atlantic. Lots of unemployed folks and at same time lack of workforce. And our smart leftist rulers were repeating they will fix the problem by importing workforce from abroad. End result was catastrophic, as hauling illiterate and uneducated freedom fighters from south side of Mediterranean surprisingly did not fix the situation. There are lots of examples, like Sweden with its ongoing gang wars and several Western Europe cities with no-go zones.

What comes to bike, nice toy for gravel roads. And nice color, Yamaha blue. If someone wants to buy American made 125cc, I presume selection is nonexistent? Even Hondas 125s are nowadays made in India, China and Pakistan.

They are doing that here gas teddy with South America illegal immigration.

Our non working population have figured out the system of free gov hand outs and vote accordingly..so they are importing our lawn maintenance and roofers these days and more unemployed drain on our >$33 trillion in debt..

Free everything from food, $$$, clothing, cell phone and housing..

Who wouldn't try to sneak in for that?

We have 5 star hotels and school gymnasiums filled with these 18 to 35 year old men now..while vets and our homeless struggle..

Spot on! People who have never owned a business have no idea how it is finding employees or the taxes we pay.

Yeah shame on cheap chinese products now go and empty out your garage, closets, tool box, storage unit..get them all out. And you can replace them too, but with what you ask? more cheap chinese junk or maybe cheap junk from mexico or indonesia? here are more pictures of the death trap in its current state as I prepare to do a few more things.







Last pictures I got at a local boneyard, thought it would be fitting for a death trap and also so close to Halloween.

Don't worry... Covid is over; you'll be able to get people to work for slave wages again pretty soon.  What you really mean by "we can't find people who will work anymore" is "we can't get anyone to work for slave wages anymore".  But like I said, it's coming back around in your favor.  I hear walmart has already lowered their starting offer by $2 an hour.  But...  It's amazing the BS that people won't put up with when they're not desperate enough.

What I'm reading in this post is someone who is upset because they are unable to exploit desperate Americans.

Except that covid was never a thing here in FL, so that excuse doesn't hold water.

So now I'm unable to exploit workers?  Make up your mind.

Yes..  Keep up.  That's what you're complaining about.  You're unable to compel people to work for the scraps that you offer because they're not desperate enough to have to, and that's got you BIG mad.

"If I gave them what they wanted, they'd be making more than ME!"

Oh well.  If you can't develop a business model that allows your employees to earn more than just enough to barely scrape by, you should probably just get a job.

You clearly don't understand how a business works. You can't paint businesses with a broad brush. If someone chooses to work for your business at the salary your business offers and is both agreed upon. It's not the companies fault. Not every person has the skills to get any job they want, and those skills are up to the individual to learn and acquire. Its real funny though because you think you can force a business to pay a salary that doesn't work with their cash flow and it ends up hurting the local economy more if it shuts down or moves. You also don't seem too concerned with how much gets robbed from employers and employees in payroll taxes. So the business is paying quite enough but that $400 a paycheck that gets robbed out of their wage is the real greedy theft of workers.

What is your point, though?  You are absolutely broad brushing as the poster stated.  I'm not trying to assume your political economic beliefs, but I cannot help feeling like I'm Shapiro and you are the millennial socialist in this video.
