2. Ha. Ha. Ha.

A half century ago I needed money for college so I worked at the only job that paid more than minimum wage and was available to those without education or connections, the factory slaughterhouse. There were two starting groups a week and few US born workers made it more than a week, many quit the first day. And failing at IBP meant moving at least 300 miles away or accepting a life of poverty. Most of the workforce were refugees from Viet Nam or Laos. I stayed a year and a half and my crapal tunnel still hurts every day a half century later. I've seen how this ends up. Buy stock in companies that produce cheap alcohol, they will do well in the coming years.

3. As a "retirement" job

I work in a large supermarket in the dairy/frozen food dept. which has 1500 or so shelves that have to be filled daily. Not the most strenuous job but a little physical with regular lifting, bending, reaching, and so on. The company offers a decent wage, 401K, vacation, and profit-sharing. Pretty good deal working in a clean, air conditioned environment. My point is that the average length of stay in these jobs is 4 months. It apparently is a job which is too physical for the people who take it.

Having once worked a job where we analyzed the physical nature of repetitive motion jobs, this job is a low physical stress job yet too physical for nearly everyone who’s hired for it. If they can’t do this job they sure as heck aren’t working the fields or in meat processing plants. That’s way too physical for the typical sedentary American.

Bottom line, Republicans are idiots when it comes to this issue which is typical of their idiotic beliefs about everything.

4. Not desperate enough

I’m sure they can do it but they’ve been prepared their entire lives for higher paying, less physically demanding work.
