That’s exactly what I am trying to comprehend. The handouts have dried up and Covid is not impacting the work force availability. Our population did not decrease, a very large number of the deaths were way beyond retirement age. So how are these people making ends meet if they are not in the work force? Two years could not have made this much of an impact on the work force. Is it possible that Gen Z is overwhelmingly living in their parents house, eating free food, and playing video games instead of working? If that’s the case then our economic future will be in turmoil. Sometimes I feel like selling my car and buying a late 60s to early 70s car and taking care of it myself. The juice is getting harder to justify the squeeze. Even if you can get into the dealer the usual Bs of “could not replicate or functions as normal” gets old. Amazingly they can find the problem days after the warranty has expired……I work in an elementary school and almost 20% of them have some form of “diagnosed” issue that’s affords an accommodation in one way or another. I don’t think the “futures so bright that I gotta wear shades”. Sad, just sad.
It is easier to be paid to stay home and do playstation 5 all day.
I'm all for pursuing your dreams, but at some point you need to wake up and realize it's not going to happen and you need to get a real job. Something like 1 in 50,000 actually make a living out of it, and even less make a good living at it. It's like all these high school kids wanting to make it in the NFL, there are a few dozen kids coming out of school every year from every high school in this country and maybe 15% go on to play college ball. Out of that maybe 2 or 3% actually make it to the NFL and half of those will never make it thru their first training camp and actually suit up for a regular season game, let alone actually play in that game.
Yep, should be a side job imo.
