Closing due to LABOR SHORTAGE?

My ears were burningHo'okipa .... where kuno / kaser1 is foiling nude
I'm in my early 20s. I'm at my sister's house and her husband's step mom is there. She has a big house in the hills in Glendora and condo in Oceanside and drives a Mecedes.
So she is over there complaining about not having any money for the entire time.
Suddenly, we see out the window my VW rabbit rolling down the street. There was no curb so I couldn't park against it.
I go running out and my car has rolled across the street. I re-park it. No harm done.
I come inside and step mom says, "What happened?"
I said, "Oh the emergency brake doesn't work."
She says, "Why wouldn't you fix that?"
I said, "Like you, I am currently have some money problems."

perfect. just make sure you put them in the correct order, lest people get the impression you like slicing hookers
a few ironic notes about this replica of the "Pilgrim"... The sunken ship in the photo was built in Denmark in 1945 as a 3-masted schooner used in the Baltic commercial trade. In 1975, it was cut down to a 2-masted Brig rig in Portugal, and was thereafter purchased by the Ocean Institute of Dana Point CA (yup, named after my ancestor) in 1981 and transformed into a "near" replica of the Pilgrim, used for decades as a floating classroom and historical treasure. It sank at it's dock slip last year, as seen in the above photo. As far as I have read, they deemed it beyond salvage, and were going to haul it out into dry dock to see what, if anything, could be done with it. That was last year during the worst of the pandemic, so I don't actually know where the replica is right now. Maybe one of you San Clemente guys knows?

you callin' my hooker a wife? them's fightin' words palCan your wife/hooker sink your ship
She was dismantled and hauled away in pieces. That's my brother in law's crane in the photo, which was day one when they thought they could raise her. Sad ending...

Sad indeed, but hell, she had a good run, and there is a very good reason we build our ships with steel and fiberglass instead of wood nowadays
And who would have thought they were still using wooden schooners for commercial activity in the Baltic as recently as the 50s and 60s…
Looks like the Roseway which comes down here to St.Croix every year: https://worldoceanschool.org/get-on-board/about-roseway
I had a chance to sail on the USCG Eagle when I was in the Coast Guard Academy https://www.uscga.edu/about-eagle/. It was amazing! But it was on that trip that I realized I sold my soul to the devil and quickly exited the CGA to have a much more fun filled college life.
So really, WTF is going on here?
It's like a large segment of the employed vanished Anasazi styley.
At first I was buying the "competitive wages" story - that workers were going elsewhere where the wages are more competitive and the bosses aren't as shitty.
But every business out there stll seems to be begging for help.
More and more I think the only explanation here is people - especially young people - have found ways not to work and are living at home with parents.
Also, the teenage labor pool has shrunk because a lot of people in generation whatever don't want to work.
Or did that many Boomers suddenly retire from doing counter service at bagel shops?
My wife had multiple colleagues quit this year.
3 out of the 4 that quit are sitting around with a thumb up their ass.
They had it pretty good were they were working.
What structural problem would this indicate?
Hard to answer particular anecdotes, what does your wife do for work? I will guess they really did not need the money and were unhappy with working conditions causing a malaise and they said fook it. On a macro scale it goes to our addiction to low wage labor and our need to treat that labor poorly.
Teacher at a private school.
They have it pretty good there - plenty of administrative support.
10% match on their retirement plan is not bad either.
All were making around 60K/year. No kids.
Their positions were quickly filled.
If they "really did not need the money" I'm not sure that shows wages are too low.
In this case accurate, if positions were filled there is no labor shortage. What is your view on the issue?
i worked on one. Wadie Murphys.'
