the biggest problem with unemployment isn't that people don't want to work
it's that getting a job these days is now a process that gets 10 other people jobs
like here they have all these recruitment agencies even for basic jobs at small stores
it's not like you can respond to a help wanted sign anymore
if you combine that with an overall lack of jobs and a government unwilling to realize that spending money on getting people into work is better than punishing them for being on welfare
it's just a mess
a massive mess that i think is primarily to do with scale
basically any domestic chain here pulls at least half of its workers from international students from india and shit
yeah. there are at least 5 or 6 people that benefit from my job who do absolutely nothing
i don't want to bitch about race here
because it's not about race
it's about paying $4 less an hour or whatever so you can return more money to shareholders
it's more effective signalling to throw millions at charity than hire pepole who were born here
and it all comes down to being cheaper
all these companies invariably get bought out by foreign interests
woolworths here are playing some similar game with farmers
devaluing their produce
they also started manufacturing their own food which crippled quite a few businesses
then again to sell anything at woolworths you had to be making at least a million items a week
big rant but big troubles on the way i think

So certain cultures with a history of not working hard hit the wall and cultures with a history of rote learning hit another wall.
Even among the Arabs at my school, you can tell where someone is from by their grades and degree.
All the Saudis and Gulf Arabs have bad grades and bullshit degrees
The people from North Africa, Egypt, and the Levant tend to have STEM or Humanities degrees and decent grades.
I'm just using this as an example of ethnically, religiously, and linguistically related cultures with different attitudes towards work.
In a way, I don't care. I just want to be around and hang out with Germanic/Scandinavian/Western European people mainly.
I have a new good friend from Northern China. He's graet.
he's only here because of the terrible air pollution there. Was killing his kid.
he's very reactionary-conservative.
and doesn't believe in miscegenation. Great guy!
People from work want me to go to a happy hour with them
Whoops. I thought I wrote this in Varg's Backyard
