Crying Gen Zer struggles to find job with ‘stack’ of resumes as she wanders NYC: ‘Not what I expected’
New York Post ^ | Feb. 8, 2024 | Joshua Lynch

A 26-year-old New York woman vented her frustration on social media when her attempts to go door-to-door in the hopes of finding a job were not what she expected.

Holding a “stack” of resumes in her hand on the streets of New York City, Santos felt embarrassed to be rejected in person after asking countless potential employers “Are you guys hiring?” “It’s honestly a little bit embarrassing because I’m literally applying for, like, minimum-wage jobs,” she says. “And some of them are being like, ‘We’re not hiring’ and it’s like, ‘What?’ This is not what I expected.”

Go to Mexico then recross the border making sure you have no ID on you then claim you are an asylum seeking radical mute Muslim trans gay man. You will never have to work again!

“This is not what I expected.”

Life’s lessons are particularly tough for the naive and unprepared/underprepared.

With that extremely weak college degree, my advice to her would be to move out of NY city and get a job selling real estate or insurance......

You need to circulate within your country in order for your country to prosper. If you insist on sending costs of a product offshore, because you are buying stuff made in China, domestically produced products eventually stop getting made and the only business you’ll have are poorly paid domestic retail.

It isn't just high paying jobs that are being lost. It's tax revenue paid from those jobs. China has built up their infrastructure and military, while we had to borrow billions to bail out our auto industry (and we still lost Chrysler), and we had to raise the debt limit to pay the interest on our loans.

And for what? Those cheaper prices and benefits to the consumer we were promised? So much for that promise.

You’re right. Americans are slicing their own throats to get the best price.
