WOWIE WOW WHERE ARE ALL THE PUNKS TO TAKE THESE JOBS? MUST BE LAAAAAAZY
actually you fat fuck, you’re paying 7 dollars less than wendy’s and those guys are $20k in the hole to get their legally required certifications
There's a really complex dance going on. In 2021/2022, people just needed workers. Signs were up saying they'd get sign-on bonuses and get paid $14 or $16 .. but at the same time, they needed to keep workers who were getting $11/$12 before Scamdemic-flation.
You hire someone for $15 just to fill a spot and all your $11 are like "Why are they getting $4/more when I've been loyal." So they leave. A lot of these owners can't afford to hire someone else at that price, so they gotta squeeze people for more hours. People who leave quickly find out that $15 at the new place ... also are asked to work 50~60 hours/week. They need the money, because inflation is insane. (hence this is why you have that screenshot of the person getting fired for discussing income ... shitty, but that's why).
In the small town I lived in last year, I knew gas station owners who were working 80+ hours a week because they couldn't find staff they could afford. Remember: low unemployment is really good for workers. Smaller pool meaning shops need to pay a good price. But with the jumbled up scamdemic+inflation, you have a weird people shuffle that kept driving up wages .. wages a lot of shop owners couldn't actually afford (because unemployment was actually high), leaving them understaffed and just picking up the work themselves to keep the business afloat until they could afford workers again.
They cycle is just gonna get worse, because the current market isn't remotely natural. It's been propped up by printing money, reducing limits to unemployment and devaluation across the board. Now Former Vice President Biden has hired a small army of IRS agents and dropped the hobby income ceiling from $10k all the way down to $600, and wants everyone from Venmo, Cashapp and PayPal to report the same crap Square and Credit Card processors report! His handlers make him say he's going after the rich, but really this is part one of individual social credit scores (use more cash and Craigslist kids!)
Anecdotal: my HVAC just went out a month ago. I got a tech recommended by a friend (actually a high school classmate's dad). HVAC was almost 20 yeas old and had holes in the heat ex changer, but I was able to get a replacement that week and he had a crew of three for the install. They were fast, and also seemed to have other jobs lined up. 🤷♂️

>use more cash and Craigslist kids!
Even better, use alternative currencies like Monero and precious metals, and support the counter-economy.
@xianc78 @djsumdog @WashedOutGundamPilot yes goy use crypto to hedge against shit going down the tube, your GPU burn out coupons will totally work when the power starts flickering and someone raided your ISP node for the copper
@sapphire @djsumdog @WashedOutGundamPilot There are many options besides crypto.
@xianc78 @djsumdog @WashedOutGundamPilot yes so stop recommending crypto, you don’t need to get people into the scam just because someone got you into it.
Buy silver. Buy ammo. Buy hot sauce and shelf stable food. Steal weights off wheels in the parking lot and make more ammo

@sapphire @djsumdog @WashedOutGundamPilot For now, it's good for renting VPSes and things like that. Monero is still anonymous and it's not like we can't create underground ISPs.
@sapphire@shortstackran.ch
@xianc78 @djsumdog @WashedOutGundamPilot when you can’t connect out from your house because Tyrone stole all the copper from your node you can’t make “underground ISPs” buddy.
@sapphire @djsumdog @WashedOutGundamPilot Nobody will steal my copper.
@xianc78 @djsumdog @WashedOutGundamPilot it’s not your copper.
You gonna go to prison for the ISP? the commissary won’t take your used electricity either.
