He said it, not me. But Zinc said it, that was my discussion about it.
Gov't sector has been bloated for decades--nice to see that turning around.
Workers did it to themselves. When their demands make the product or service they sell unprofitable, business owners adapt to the conditions and opportunities that they have left. Gee, what's better--an average hourly wage of $30.66 (CA) with no job or a reasonable living, non-inflationary wage and a job? But look on the bright side--Americans will be harvesting crops again--until they make robots for that because the wages will outstrip the product.
This is true, it wasn't until 2022 that the jobs returned to pre-covid levels.
Ahaha "Mr. President why are your job reports such shit?" "Workers did it to themselves, of course. Now go fetch me a child."
What? A teen that would have had an entry level job at minimum wage that would have taught a work ethic and provided job experience that is now held by another elder employee at three times the wage -- making the product unreasonably priced, lowering sales? LOL, let me know how your marxist utopia works out for you when the machines are taking the jobs.
And yet machines are currently taking the jobs in your unregulated capitalism.
No shit, when I was a teen my peers and myself all worked.
Where have you been for the past five years. Average hourly wage in CA is $30.66. Nationwide that is $21+. Benefits double that amount. Burger flippers are worth $10 or less, hence ENTRY LEVEL. Now do you understand why a kiosk takes your order at McDs when a young worker used to? You're just not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
If you pay a burger flipper $10 in California there will be no burger flippers in California, only employers complaining nobody wants to work anymore. If you pay a burger flipper $1 unregulated capitalists will still replace them with unpaid robots.
That's what they told Pizza Hut---have you asked those unemployed Pizza Hut workers that used to work in the closed-down Pizza Huts how that unemployment wage feels? Inflation happens when you artificially double the minimum wage, Poindexter. Everyone else in skilled labor feels they should get double as well. SMH. THINK.
Pizza Hut has been closing stores for decades in every state regardless of minimum wage. Apps and automation have been replacing Pizza Hut employees in every state regardless of minimum wage. Hell, in our unregulated capitalism Pizza Hut doesn't even own Pizza Hut. So why would you blame them for firing people?
UBI will be the inevitable answer.

Thank you for confirming my point. If it wasn't for the doubling of the minimum wage that cut into those profit margins for those outlets, they might still be here. Employers have been dealing with ridiculous demands for decades--vacations for part timers, health benefits and sick leave, FMLA, disability fraud, etc for entry level jobs to flip burgers. It was inevitable--however there are folks like me that refuse to be greeted by a machine and I have quit using any fast food outlet. You attacked entry level jobs and now there are none. Proud of yourself?
