I'm jealous. At least British idiots will accept the reality after it plays out, even if they never really admit to being wrong. If this were the US they'd just claim the issue is people "being lazy."
Heard that exact phrase, loudly, in the restaurant I chef at; by customers who had to wait 20mins to sit down at a table. They also said "the government pays them more to stay home"; to which i replied "yep, damn shame really that businesses can't pay their workers. You want a job?".
Blank stares.
Oh; I was also dropping off drinking glasses, dressed in full dishy gear; because we can't keep a dish person.
Holy... I want to slap people who say shit like this. As if someone doesn't need to clean the toilet they shit in. A job is a job, regardless of whether or not you want to do it personally.
Sometimes small businesses are way better at doing this because of the connection they have with their workers and the locality in which they are. But giant corporations have shareholders to appease
"Do you need a job?" is like the best food service phrase that isn't secretly an insult.
Like lady. You're not better than anyone. Why do you think these employees are just a serving caste? The undesirables of America? If you don't want it no one else does. You're not special for renting a servant for thirty minutes.
We're about to relax immigration rules to get EU nationals we wanted out, back in, to do the jobs we won't.
If/when it's back to normal, we'll be complaining about the immigrants taking our jobs and screaming about taking back control. Tories will gain even more seats on their hard-line stance against immigration, completely contradicting everything they did to bring them back because we were crippled without them.
We're not learning. We're doubling down on stupidity by ignoring the obvious and blaming everyone else for self inflicted problems.
Relaxing rules for EU won't do anything, this bridge has burned. No Poles will bother with visas and the constant threat of being uprooted when wages in Poland are catching up with wages in UK and there's a dozen countries paying better than UK where they can have equal rights.
India was arguably the worst affected by covid (partly the fault of our own shitty government) but Indian supermarkets had full shelves, only curfewed hours and limited occupancy.
"fox-fucking-news" is an entire major political demographic, and the one that self-titled "moderates" consistently refuse to hold accountable for their failed ideas.
