you have millions of Latinos who are willing to work, quite honestly could be making a shite ton of money.....Instead you have a bunch of whites and blacks here who don't wanna do shite
Step One: SECURE the border and stop the illegals from pouring into this country.
Step Two: Abolish the welfare system. You don't work, you don't eat.
Step Three: Start putting people that hire illegals in jail.
Three common sense steps and you'll start seeing the number of illegals in this country go down to a miniscule amount, and a lot of Americans going back to work instead of sucking off the government titty.

A lot and I mean a lot of millennials have no idea how much money it actually takes to retire. They're gonna be living in section 8 houses when they can't work anymore.

Boomers, who haven't saved for retirement, and are starting to and going to continue to put huge economic strains due to their inability to pay their medical bills definitely understand this.

Almost every car in the high school parking lot where my kids go is nicer than my car. Even the rich kids when I was in high school didn’t get very nice cars, save for a few of them.

Is your point that voluntary "organic" assimilation works better than forced assimilation?
No.
Assimilation into a superior, more productive culture works better.
That force is a byproduct of an inferior, less productive culture.
The myth is that diversity is a strength when people assume that we're talking about mixing up different cultures and getting that positive output. Diversity is a strength within a positive culture where you have diverse people who want to assimilate within that culture. They bring certain perspectives and outlooks that can help a super monolithic culture lose its blinders and develop positively.
However, this myth that all cultures are equal and should be respected promotes the associated myth that "diversity is a strength" means that large populations with different cultures end up more positive and that's just hogwash.

Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if this will end.
Money is required to live. Work is required to make money, unless you are independently wealthy. So my question is if people are no longer working these jobs, how are they earning enough money to subsist? They must be doing something. There is no magical way to avoid the need for money.

I have a theory. Traditionally, a significant segment of the service industry was teenage, middle class children working their first job as a bus boy or cahier, etc. I know me and several friends did it in the 90's/early 00's.

what's funny is that out of all the people that I have hired, I have never once told them about the profit sharing that we offer until after they start in their position with us. i tell them afterwards, but never in the interview process.
You are purposefully withholding details on part of your compensation package to perspective employees thereby putting your company at a recruiting disadvantage? Why would you do that?

It's not the wages.. Electricians, Pipe fitters, welders. Even these jobs are ones that Americans aren't taking. Meanwhile these are people who want to work. What's more American than immigrants looking for work?
Because we're now on the third generation of children that have been taught that they have to go to college to be successful, and that skilled labor should be reserved for people with lower intelligence.

Didn't say there was anything wrong with Outback but it sounded very 2022 Outback to me.

No, we do, we're just underpaid respective to boomers, and we know we'll probably die without ever being able to afford to retire.

The lack of workers in America under 20 years old is a huge part of the labor shortage. Parents used to encourage their 16 year old to get a job to pay for stuff. Now parents track every move on their phone and don’t give kids any freedoms for many reasons. Either way, it keeps kids out of the job world. Covid only made that worse.
Bring in Mexicans. They want to be here to work. Most are trouble free labor who appreciate opportunities that todays kids never will. I ate at a nice restaurant the other day and when I walked by the kitchen it was all Hispanics back there. They had plenty of waiters and it was the best dining experience I’d had in a while. If people don’t want to work think outside the box and find those who will.

I have always wondered what the lower birth numbers in Western society would ever impact. Maybe there is something to that idea.
All the teenagers of my friends social circle are working office jobs. My employer employs HS seniors as paid interns to do low level Configuration management /tableau work as an example to start the pipeline earlier for college graduate talent.

Unbridled horse shite, but I'm not surprised it's coming from you since you've shown yourself to be nothing but a shillbot for anything Left.
The Labor Force Participation Rate is still a full percent lower than what it was prior to COVD.

While U3 Unemployment is closing in on the pre-COVID numbers, the difference in participation rates show that what we're seeing is still a lot of people simply not going into the job market. This is also part of why we're seeing price spikes: high demand with fewer people creating supply.

It’s pretty shocking how many parents don’t make their kids at least get a summer job these days. My son’s best friend drives a fairly new Sierra and has never had a job. I can somewhat understand during the school year because the time demands today are different from when I was that age, but so many of them just goof off all summer with mom and dad’s money.

That's what happens when the bean counters treat employees and their wages as short term expenses instead of long term assets.
LOL, why do you retards always blame the accountants? It's the C Suite that makes those decisions, chief.
This board really has zero clue what accountants actually do but constantly blame the profession for shite it does not do.
