Nobody wants to work anymore is probably true

It's also true that nobody wanted to work ever, but everything was fine for decades

Hmm

I mean, the lower end type of jobs these days are kinda feasible for people...but they're very unlikely to be living in the American "ideal" situation of not needing welfare / living on their own. Cost of living is just way too high generally. If they do still manage to pull that off, they're likely living spartan as hell.

Nobody likes working, this has been established for an incredibly long time. Only rarely do people find a job they actually really enjoy doing. The way to get people to work is to provide good incentives like a good wage.

If you're not willing to pay your workers, of course they won't work for you.

My friend was working at a Big Boy franchise about 15 years ago that closed in the middle of breakfast. Nobody had any notice and the place was full of customers. A group of men showed up and told them not to serve anymore customers and prepare to close after everyone was done. Very weird way to lose your job.

If your business can't operate without exploiting a workforce that is borderline slave labor, then maybe it doesn't need to operate to begin with.

If you can't pay your suppliers, you go out of business.

If you can't pay rent on your premises, you go out of business.

If you can't pay your taxes, you go out of business.

But if you can't pay your employees a living wage, they just need to shut up and work harder.

There's an understandable desire to help "small business owners" instead of having a few mega-corporations control all of the businesses around us.

But this also leads to the notion that any individual small business "should" exist, which is stupid. If you can only exist by underpaying your workers and providing no benefits, you shouldn't exist.

When you read down the lines it feels like," PEASANTS HAVE TO LEARN THEY ARE GOD DAMN PEASANTS AND SHUT UP AND SMILE WHILE SERVING THERE MASTERS!" More or less.

Most of society is those with power getting that power by making sure some get everything while those that give them that get just about nothing.

Seen quite a few small business owners in my area bitching about this too. Literally every single one when you look at how much theyre paying, its minimum wage, which is $10/hr here.

McDonalds, Target, Walmart, etc all start at $15/hr and have no trouble finding employees, so it seems that people do want to work.

If you can't afford your operating costs, you go out of business. This is how capitalism has always worked, and yet its only a problem when it comes to paying actual, real human being something resembling fair compensation.

The victim mentality these business owneres have has long since gotten old. They couldn't afford to pay their workers is the bottom line. That's not the fault of people who want and can get better pay elsewhere. The "no one wants to work any more" line would make more sense if unemployment was sky high, but it's at record lows.

As a follow up I suppose the majority of bosses think they deserve to be paid more then the" grunts" and if they can't afford to be paid more then none of it matters or, something.

A lot of business owners think they're entitled to profits because of the "risk" they take.

The irony would be funny if it wasnt sad
