However, their frustration is understandable. Housing and school costs have risen substantially. Because of the chip shortage, even buying a decent used car has become a terribly expensive proposition. I understand their predicament, but this labor shortage has me puzzled. Maybe it's just personal, but I would rather die than sit at home and draw money on the dole instead of working. Hell, it's even reflected in the panhandlers now. 90% of them are young strong healthy men while Help Wanted signs hang everywhere. It's a weird time we live in.

One of the issues is their parents didn't want or let them get jobs, they didn't teach them how to work for things. When the parents struggled, they wanted their kids to have nicer things but they took it too far.

Kids coming out of college with proper degrees are looking at >$60,000 and to them life is just a party. They spend most of that on having fun and paying to live somewhere happening. Then they complain when they don't have any money left to save.
