My dad was roofer. I did my first roof at the age of 10. I also painted houses and washed dishes. Cut lawns, worked at a drill press in a machine shop, warehouse, you name it. I did all those jobs “Americans” won’t do. I am 42. This was normal amongst me and all my friends. What happened?
Two of my neighbors had their (large) homes re-roofed this year.
House one was done by 3 Mexicans (illegal?)
no roof top delivery (carried them all up)
done well in 1.5 days
House two was done by 5 local crackers (I can say that because I’m one myself)
roof top delivery
done in 4 days
made rude comments to women walking in neighborhood
so far back 2x to fix installation problems
Somewhere along the line we’ve bred a generation or two of Entitlement Kids.
As a physician, I have a nice job with a good standard of living. What many people don’t realize is that I started in this industry in 1968 as a nursing assistant; shaving patients for surgery, cleaning up puke, and mopping floors after deliveries.
I worked at a vitamin distribution company. I worked with a whole lot of ESL English as a second language. They sit there mostly talking spanish, and make you feel uncomfortable. That is what happened they edged everyone out of those jobs. Undercutting prices, now of course they are higher, but the english speaking competition is gone.
