We need to fix the *lazy teenager* problem

Godwin's. Automatic fail.

Godwin never met Trump

Show anybody who has ever said that

Don't be obtuse.

Watch 20 mins of this and you'll see nothing but leftists that don't want to work, are full of excuses and want the gov't giving to them over and over.

The Founding Fathers didn't create this country for those kinds of people.

I'm fairly certain that's precisely the kind of person they created this country for ...

Doesn’t answer the claim that leftists believe unskilled workers should be paid the same as skilled workers

Try again

That's an idea. Those of them who get sentenced to juvie for whatever reason maybe could cut their time in half by working in the fields instead.

 

[BothWings]

The truth is these days nobody seems to be growing up anymore. You have people in their 30s and even pushing 40 who are lazy like that and don't want to work and have piss poor ethics in the workplace.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

just noting. Wont let me read it.

Paywalls suck

How’s this for an idea:

Teens who are 14 - 17 with single mothers welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, etc., must prove at least $500 in earnings each year. They can do that by babysitting, shoveling snow, or mowing lawns. Otherwise, they lose their welfare benefits.

I live a few blocks from a subsidized housing complex. There are gobs of teens hanging around in the front, even on days when we’ve had a snowstorm. I spend two hours shoveling out my driveway, and then I drive by a gaggle of 16-year-old boys sitting on their front stoop.

They need to learn the value of work.

Indeed, Godwin is a failure.

You didn't watch at all. Also, do you live under a rock. Where did the $15.00 an hour minimum wage narrative come from that was popular years ago? Have you heard the term "livable wage" lately? Yet no one can readily define what "Livable" means. Where does "Universal income" come from?

Right, it illustrates failure. The first to drag Hitler and Nazis into it loses.

Someone had a great idea back in the sixties. It was ruined by lazy teenagers. We need to get it right this time. This program should be revived and this time done right.

---Can homegrown teens replace immigrant farm labor?---

Commentary: Can homegrown teens replace immigrant farm labor? In 1965, the U.S. tried

Teens quit or went on strike across the country to protest abysmal work conditions. A-TEAM was such a disaster that the federal government never tried it again.

Nope.

Sending teenagers to the desert to pick crops for 6 weeks in extremely undesirable conditions is the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard just to solve someone’s manufactured "lazy teenager" problem.

Sports, friends, vacation, internships and parttime jobs is the way to go. Enjoy life while you still can because life in the real world is just around the corner.

You'd have never survived detassling corn on the Midwest heat and humidity.

Man that was brutal but the memories are priceless

They want a Hitler er Trump Youth Groups to be in shape and ready for the tyranny of Trump.

You need a prefrontal.

Theorists Have Contempt for Getting the Right People and Good Conditions

Reminds me of Alexander Hamilton. He was right about America's need for industrialization, but then he let it all be sweatshops. The same goes for his standing military, which the anti-draft Chickenhawks back then pounced on when it turned out to be shanghaiing the dregs of the cities.

Are you drunk again?

They don't want to shovel yer snow.

Tough shit. I don't want to work some days.
