[Political Junkie Too]

There was a period in the late 1970s and 1980s when seniors were also taking these jobs.

A point I made in an earlier thread is that these are entry level jobs, but the problem with today's school system is that kids today are not prepared to LEAVE entry level jobs for the next step up.

That's why there is the demand for these jobs to pay like trade jobs, or professional jobs. It's to compensate the "lost generation" who were failed by the schools to prepare them for career jobs.

Articles like this are part of the Journo-List psyops to syncopate with the fast food worker strike today.

That's true. I've seen a few clumsy and uneducated graduates in technical projects, some of them even managing projects, resulting in management from below. It appears that aptitude, for some at least, needs to be learned over a long period of time--maybe even during personal growth and development.

That could be. They might be advocating for some of their students in advance.

And of course, a $15 per hour minimum fast food wage won't solve the problems. It'll take much more than that.

When resources become scarce enough, even through artificial scarcities, the skilled and ingenuous get going. In the near future, expect regulations, patents and licenses of the exclusive nature to be of little value.
