'Ever since the Pandemic ended, there’s been a major labor shortage across this country.'
Then it's the responsibility of the bigger businesses to pay their workers higher wages and offer better benefits, as they deserve, instead of hoarding the wealth for their board of directors.
And for smaller businesses that are actually struggling, it's the government's responsibility to provide them with sufficient aid so that they can employ more adult workers.
This is mainly a case of the country's wealth not being distributed fairly to the average citizens.
"Kids want to work" that whole quote is shocking. As I was reading your article, and after I had managed to convince myself that the whole post was not some elaborate attempt at satire, I had the thought that this is a possible future that the U.S. is headed for, as the dollar declines and is replaced as the world's reserve currency, and it turns to cheap labor to keep its economy going. Or it goes full Handmaids tale with religious fundamentalism. Don't really know, but it was a thought that occurred to me.
The satire is getting harder and harder to identify, isn't it? I find myself writing this stuff and feeling the words become more real. I seriously doubt there isn't someone out there - perhaps part of the 'I worked in back-breaking labor for 50 years, so everyone else should have to' crowd - who would champion these sentiments.
Yikes. 💜

Agreed.
