Mean while,

53 year old white man, having applied for over 250 jobs in the past year, interviewed for over 40, have recieved no offers.

Initially, I looked inward, I must be a shitty interview, I don't have the skills, etc.


In the past month however, I had 2 hiring managers tell me, I would love to bring you on but my diversity team has encouraged me to hold off on bringing on Caucasians.


Previously, worked for myself, 2019 found that contracts were going overseas or to minorities in the US.

At this point, I hope it all burns down.

What kind of idiot would work when the government is handing out 2k a month?

What kind of business owner would pay 15hr when you can just pay the illegals less...

And TRUST ME, there are plenty of illegals now willing to do the work...

This was all designed to destroy America...

Is it obvious yet?

Im actually getting $3120 per month, about $4000 less than I had been earning but yeah, woo hoo if you say so
 Quoting: OU8122


Dang! That is still good living in my area.

I don't see how a person could live on less than $20 per hour. Even at that after rent, insurance, utilities, etc, there wouldn't be anything left. Prices are increasing so fast.
 Quoting: Etta


I have been living in extreme poverty for most of my life. Quite alot of life opportunities have been robbed from me because of this fact. I have been made fun of in real life for years for having the audacity to keep living at all because I am dirt poor. Try living in poverty for decades. You will either go insane from the very often extreme financial stresses to make ends meet... or you learn an entirely new appreciation for life.
 Quoting: darkwolf007


If I decide to enter the workforce again and someone accidentally hires me I think we should talk. What part of the country are you in? I don't care what skills or experience you have, I will find a spot for you making a decent living.

We need to start looking out for our own.

It's been building up to this... maybe a living wage doesn't sound so bad to you guys anymore?

The whole minimum wage sector has burn out. If you don't force the people to pay a living wage... this is what happens.

Tierd of see good people working 2 - 3 jobs to pay for the same nessecities... as the rest of the world... I see them.

I know most of GLP was against the living wage, due to the egoic competitive nature of the insecurity they feel inside... but maybe people will start realizing... $15/hr would get a lot of these people back up on their OWN feet instead of unemployment.

I've heard that China is already doing this, by moving the farmers off the land and into smart cities. The work formerly done by farmers is all done by robotic equipment. There's really no need for human employees, as whatever can be delivered directly to whatever market it needs to go to.

Thank you for helping to convince employers to automate the workforce, and eliminate human workers.

Used to be black people couldn't get hired because they were black. Now it's white people can't get hired because they are white.

The more things change the more they stay the same.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80314637

Back in the day, if the blacks couldn't get hired it was likely because they lacked the skills needed.

Now, whites, no matter how qualified, are being passed over solely because of skin color, age is also a factor.

All the businesses in my area, even Walmart are having rolling closures due to staff not coming to work or not being able to find employees.

Some of the restaurants are having to close on the weekends because they dont have workers.

I have never seen this before. And, it isnt like it is something that gradually started to happen. It started happening all at once.

How are people supposed to take care of their kids when in most places schools are still closed, only open a couple days a week, or even more retarded they only go to school for two hours a day right in the middle of the day!?!?

People can’t work and have small children doing that kind of schedule…that’s the real reason many aren’t going back to work at these shithole fast food restaurants that shouldn’t even be open anyway as they poison people and make them fat tubs of lard

Did any of you old timer Tards ever consider that you shouldnt even have 200 fast food reataraunts in your fucking town!? It’s why most of you look like you have ham hocks for arms and have to ride around Walmart on a moto scooter. I mean look at the grotesque mutating fat fucks that roam America right now. It’s fucking disgusting. And you guys are crying because these slop shop poison pig troughs aren’t runnin at full capacity anymore lol. You are against giving experimental vaccine to kids but you are ok with these places popping up every square block and kids eating at them lol

“Oh no the 10 fast food restaraunts within a 1 mile radius of my house can’t stay open past 8pm!!! Oh my god! Shut down unemployment now!”

CVS is the biggest drug dealer inside the USA. Do you think they are lacking for employees?
Fucking hamburgers oh yeah, like, did your family really need to sit down inside wendy's? Fuck no, you just got addicted to eating in a social setting like the brady bunch all sat down together.
We destroyed the brady bunch era, they wanted the opposite of goodness, so you miss your wendy's atmosphere, but it never meant shit. Drive thru, heh, driving itself lacks any life when the vehicles they make, have no soul. I'd rather drive a VW bus from the old days than any fuckin car made today.

People after 2 weeks would of been like we got to get the fuck back to work. See I have been working the whole time. Last year for me was the hardest year I have had, trying to keep a small business open and operational.

So fuck these lazy ass stupid morons who think that the government is here to help them.

These big corporations are full of shit and are partaking in the economic collapse by closing their doors on purpose and claiming they can’t find workers. It’s bullshit. They got their orders from above to close.

$15 an hour is not a living wage when the government shut the entire economy down, can and will probably do it again. It's not a living wage when the business owner needs to lay off half of the staff in order to pay the other workers $15 an hour and all your Marxist BS/AOC bullshit is going to lead to the complete automation/robotization of retail and restaurants.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79790939


I don't see this ever happening. It would be pointless to go to a restaurant or drive through if you can just go to the grocery store and heat it up in your microwave.

We've had this type of automated production capability for decades, yet restaurants are still alive and well. There are more elements to restaurant atmosphere than the food that comes out.

Unless it's a mom & pop, most of your restaurant food is already pre-cooked and simply heated in the back already. Even small local chains can have companies like Sysco make and pre-package their recipes.

This is funny. I haven't seen this here yet but I applied EVERYWHERE this fall and NO BUSINESS would call me but one wendys and they didn't hire me. Wow.

I posted about it saying I think the job listings were fake. There were other similar reports here.

I still think this is all fake economy killing.

Also funny they are closing during the times that were "senior hour" or "disinfectant hour" last year. So they have this built into their budget already.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80064536


Just hired 4 people at work. Directive from head office in the US - NO WHITIES, we were supposed to focus on hiring blacks, but none applied, probably because it's an industry that doesn't attract many black people. We got 250 applications from white people several of them with passion and experience in the industry, 20 hispanics, 20 asians and a girl from Russia. The only people I saw as qualified were some of the white people including the Russian girl and one of the hispanics, but we ended up hiring 2 hispanics, 1 asian and we hired one of the white people (we expect to get berated over this from up the chain of command). I don't think they get diversity kick backs from the Canadian government, but word on the street is that they do get a kick back in the US for every diversity hire.

You freaking moron, if they have to pay $15hr for a job that isn't worth more than minimum wage, they would be out of business anyway.

The Marxist Democrats want to keep subsidizing the unemployed with money taken from those working to create a shortage of employees by basically paying people not to work.

You want to make $15hr then ha e a skill that is wirth $15hr. Do not expect tax payers to be force to give the federal government their money just to entice peopel not to work.

What good does it do to pay a minimum wage of $15hr, when the prices people have to pay for things doubles, like milk goes to $5 gal instead of $2.25

After purchasing the equipment to perform whatever task needs to be done, robots will work 24/7/365, without threats of bad service or unionizing for better pay.

I've heard that China is already doing this, by moving the farmers off the land and into smart cities. The work formerly done by farmers is all done by robotic equipment. There's really no need for human employees, as whatever can be delivered directly to whatever market it needs to go to.

Thank you for helping to convince employers to automate the workforce, and eliminate human workers.

But who makes and fixes the robots once they are everywhere? I honestly fail to see the upside in this. The advantage of robotic production is scale which allow products to be sold at lower cost ultimately making more money on volume. They are not and never have been advantageous on a small scale.

Hell, the Walmart near me just took out all of the self checkouts they installed a couple years ago. They also got rid of the floor cleaning inventory robot. It seems someone management level has decided these devices are more costly to run than they are worth. I could have told you that without a fancy MBA.

Human labor is dirt cheap, even at $15/hr. Theses humans can be trained to do almost anything, are easily repurposed, never need recharging, oiling, or battery changes. They can work almost anytime for long hours. They can even autonomously make their own decisions and keep doing additional tasks with reprogramming. Amazing, huh?

Get rid of masks and testing and pay people. Then they will work. I have to wear a mask then I’m not working. And no way I’m getting tested.

The Southern slaveman would rather go out of business than pay $15/hr. Hold the line... diamond hands.

Even $15 an hour won't make people get off unemployment.

It would, it's only $300 week man for the federal help.




Fuck the southern republicans.

My unemployment claim was denied, and I have to pay back everything they gave me.

Overdue rent and bills- this was also the plan.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79716755


Hold off on paying until you can get on your feet. Many people are just becoming nomadic.

Re: My Local Walmart, Arby's, Wendy's, Subway all Closed: No Staff!
My local Walmart here in mid-Missouri is open and busier than ever, but it's a chaotic mess. They are redoing the floors--replacing all the tiles--and things are in disarray.

Perhaps they should have closed it for remodeling, except that here in the hinterlands it's the only place within 30 miles to shop. If they closed it people would starve to death and go naked in the process.
