A close friend of mine employs students in an academic training agricultural environment. The students are through a program at a major university. Last week I complimented him on the fine work ethic I observed in his student employees, most whom are visiting from the Eastern European Countries.
He said that was true five years ago, but not today. It used to be they would want all the overtime they could get. Today they don’t want to work over forty hrs per week, and often complain that they don’t want to work more than 25 hrs or they will lose their food stamps! The last three years has poisoned a lot of workers.
“The last three years has poisoned a lot of workers.”
Particularly young ones; if all of the products hawked on TV (as well as homes and families) are beyond their reach anyway, what is the point? I’m sure this is speeding up the demographic nightmare that has been unfolding in this country for the past decades.
I just hope there are enough voters that miss the whole concept of “discretionary income” enough to toss Obama.
