    It's funny, the McDonalds near me seem to have no problem finding teenagers to work, they struggle to find people who can work during school hours, or before 0700, or after 1900. They are explicitly only looking for people over the age of 18.

    Average hourly earnings in 1978 was $5.68/hr, while minimum wage was $2.65/hr. Today it's $20.31 and $7.25. Adjusted for inflation it should be $20.78 and $9.67
    https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R42973.pdf

    Meanwhile, since 1978 McDonald's CEO's compensation has gone up by 940%
    CEO compensation has grown 940% since 1978: Typical worker compensation has risen only 12% during that time

    It's not that people "don't want to work", it's that we don't value work the same way we did a half century ago.

    Arctic Fox, I've heard of McPukes but not the other 2. Although it does fit at times with some of the stuff I've gotten.
