It's not that they don't work, it's that their employers (boomers own the companies) don't want to pay them
He knows this. I used to listen to his show. And in all my time listening to him, he never took on a caller who was making nine bucks an hour and struggling to make ends meet. His most frequent type of caller is a straight late twenties couple who make $140k a year, who owe maybe $25k in credit cards, and whose obvious answer to fixing the problem is to sell the thousand dollar car payment for something more basic and eat out less often. Because he knows if minimum wage workers get past the screeners, there's nothing he can do to help. That's a systemic problem and he knows he's part of it. What's he gonna tell them? Go get a better job? Cool. If everyone does that, there won't be any of those jobs for 90% of them, one, and two, there won't be anyone working those important low wage jobs. Someone's gotta flip the burgers. Someone's gotta stock the shelves. The problem is systemic. And the answer is fuck the rich.
I literally just watched yesterday a 28 year old lady with over 100k in student debt on minimum wage.
