    My employer struggled to hire a meat guy for three years, as they only wanted to offer minimum wage without benefits. They’d score the occasional hire, but that hire would inevitably quit after a few weeks when they realized it wasn’t worth the pay. Both the store owner and the meat manager would continue to grumble about how “Nobody wants to work anymore”, rather than facing the reality that nobody wants to work for shit pay and no benefits, as evident by the multiple hires who said “Fuck this job” and took their services elsewhere. Eventually they coughed up more and wound up landing a certified meat cutter with experience. Crazy how nature do that.

    I don’t know what the nobody wants to work crowd thinks the average non-contributer is doing to afford food and shelter. It’s as though they imagine these people just declare that they don’t want to work and receive government subsidies via the “I don’t want to work anymore” check-box.
