Why won't Americans do the "Jobs Americans won't Do?

[Woodznutz]

Yes. Unfortunately it also set the table for the Federal Government doing more and more thst they have no legitimate mandate to do. Therefore it’s a net loss for America in the long run.

Sadly, in their zeal to protect the people from the government the founders neglected the responsibility of the citizenry, with the exception of Ben Franklin's warning, and even that conferred no special duties.

Totally agree. The Bill of Rights needed to be paired with a Bill of Responsibilities and Duties.

Greatly raise the pay for these jobs and you will fill those jobs. This isnt rocket science.

That would also trigger massive inflation, but you do you.

No, it would not. An average working person making more % per hour cannot cause inflation. Poor peoples wages going up wont affect a thing

how do you think those wages will get paid?

The costs will have to be passed on to the customer.

Well then dont hire anyone to do those jobs. Win win

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

A lot of good paying jobs go begging because people just don't want to do physical work. They're not lazy but manual labor jobs have been so deprecated that many would be ashamed to take them.

Jobs for Snobs

Even some intelligent people resent being cooped up in a cubicle. That is only natural, so they are the only intelligent people who haven't been mind-drained at a depressing, humiliating, and insulting eweniversity.

The opinionist oligarchy preaches this contempt for hands-on work. That only reflects its own attitude and shouldn't be cited as what any other Americans think about it, if they think at all.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Because the demographic that would be doing those jobs in a sane world has so eloquent announced, "We done picking cotton.", choosing instead to sponge off the state.

Like Most "Fallacies," Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc Is Usually True

Obviously, that is a rational conclusion. The foreign cheap-labor invasion started immediately after welfare freeloading was forced on the hard-working taxpayer.

WPA did some great things.

The Emperors' New Robes

The Depression would have ended quickly if leisure-class SCROTUS hadn't thumbed-down the most effective parts of the New Deal.

It's not contempt. They just don't want to do that kind of work.

Reductio ad Absurdum

Those who wish to destroy democracy take the most accepted and beneficial parts of policies and extend them to where they were never intended to belong.

Authoritarian "Thou Shalt Not" Overpowers Natural Will

Authoritarian "Thou Shalt Not" Overpowers Natural Will

Meaning?

They're not lazy but manual labor jobs have been so deprecated that many would be ashamed to take them.

But they're not too ashamed to take handouts from the gov't. We need WORKFARE.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Meaning?

Means you're unwilling to admit that there are powerful forces influencing us for only their own good

And jack up the wages bigly.

 

[Concerned American]

And jack up the wages bigly.

When an employee EARNS more by producing more--they get more. I think it's time for you to go donate to your care givers--Say----$150 a day? After all, they are pros.

And if nobody applies to fill those jobs for those wages will you claim nobody wants to work anymore?
