If it wasn’t your money it was mine (which I had stolen from me at gunpoint) and I’m fine with that over the armed robber keeping it. Of course I wish it wasn’t stolen from me in the first place.

In any event, real capitalism requires that the consumer spend his money in a moral manner. The entire fast food/greasy diner sector isn’t a moral business model IMO therefore I don’t partake. Well that and I don’t want to put poison into my body.

Apparently a lot of younger workers took a stimulus vacation?
Why can't places seem to hire people anymore?

Here is a thought, instead of paying them to show up for interviews, why not pay them a livable wage for the labors? And maybe even throw in a benefit or two...then maybe more people might want to work for them.
Who knew people might not want to work long hours for starvation wages and no benefits?

I’m sorry socialism has such a grip on you.

I believe conservatives said that if the pay wasn't enough, people wouldn't take the job. Pay a fair wage and get people willing to work.

Exactly.

Everywhere I turn I see business owners shocked to learn their crappy jobs/conditions go unfulfilled and don’t know why.

They’re like slumlords who believe their tenants should be grateful to get to live under their leaky roof.
