Agree. I recall the 50’s and early 60’s when I worked for neighbors who let me mow yards, shovel snow out of driveways, plus I unloaded boxcars of plywood with black mem in VA at 15. I have never had any youngster knock or stop by and/or ask if he could work. I had a 35 year old stop by last month about cutting wood/tree limbs.
He charged $200 for what a tree limb type Mex wanted $850. It was done in 2 hours.

I’ve been working 70 hour weeks on average since I was a teen. I’ve also worked at least 48 hours straight a few dozen times. I wouldn’t encourage anyone to work like that, but I certainly expect the average individual to do something meaningfully productive each week.

These weekly Covid payouts need to stop. 9 million available jobs, 11 million on the dole. That’s obscene.
