A lot of the MAGAts around here are saying that the lazy milennials, or whoever, are too lazy to work and that's why there are so many unfilled jobs. But unemployment is very low. I think we have a shortage of people. The economy is overheating and has created more jobs than we can fill. That is, unless we let in more immigrants, but some people are totally against that. I think it would work out great, but some people are too scared that they're being "replaced."
