An outdoor marquis sign with the words, "The employee shortage is so bad that long haired freaky people can now apply!"

Which is a reference to the 1971 song "Signs" by the group Five Man Electrical Band.

Posts about employee shortages after years of AI-driven mass layoffs followed by Trump government mass layoffs, which are further followed by more job cuts as Trump's tariffs stall economic activity. Kinda tone-deaf, doncha think?

    No no. Don't you see? It's the lazy welfare recipients. They don't want to work anymore

    I want those people who spout that shit to be forced to do the math on how anyone can get to a good place in life working endless hours in a crappy-paying job, while still having anything that resembles an actual life. Heck, even without having a life and dedicating your every waking hour to work, it's quite difficult. Now all these jobs are gone and so the only option left is to start our own companies and build them up to something profitable? Not gonna work of we're all doing it so there's too much competition to make money. Never mind most of us aren't aggressive egomaniacal assholes as seems to be required to be a "successful" businessman nowadays. It's a fucking joke.
