    The issue with labor right now isn’t legal allotment but availability and talent. Boomers are exiting the labor pool, immigrants are shut out of the labor market, and the Millennials/GenAs aren’t sufficient to close the gap.

    What is this pro-corporate drivel?

    If companies need talent they need to train people.

      Sure. And they’ve outsourced that process very successfully through the privatized college system.

      But college isn’t the bottleneck. We have plenty of diploma mills and overflowing lecture halls.

      What we lack, more often than not, is low income service sector workers. Janitors, retail employees, bus boys and line cooks. We’re in short supply of agriculture hands, which is why prison labor is becoming incredibly popular.

        Buddy is simping for corporations your hobby?

        low income service sector workers

        This is you saying there’s a “shortage” of people willing to work for unlivable wages and then explaining that’s what makes “prison labor” AKA slave labor incredibly popular.

        We get it bud. Corporations love human slaves. This comes as a surprise to nobody. You talking about it like this is a problem with workers instead of the horrifying reality of corporate greed is just gross.

        There is no shortage of people willing to do any kind of work for good wages. What we have way too much of are greedy billionaires and corporations.
