While it is true, generally even in the medium run you will see
employment decimated.

Be reminded that one company's employees are another

True..but you arent going to be hiring highschool summer help to fix
the bots.

Truth! And the witless "board changers" they're turning out nowadays
are going to do nothing but run up the cost of a mechanized burger.


So we are running out of places for kids to earn money.

People complain to me all the time that they hate paying my prices for
weeding, weedeating, mowing (things I don't do) because they can't
find a single teenager willing to do it. One of the guys I hired
through the temp agencies to help me set up some fences now has his
own odd jobs company, and he's thriving. Teens don't seem to have he
willingness to do what needs to be done to get along in this world.
They have no concept of moving up the ladder a rung at a time. "I'm
CEO or I'm not coming to work for you!" How does one get a work ethic
when they start without ethics? Parents aren't instilling that into
kids today, at least not from my perspective. Grandparents scold
their kids and grandkids about it all the time. 'Tis sad, indeed.


When was the last time you saw a teenager working in a MickyDs etc
etc?

I think the fast food restaurants found that the older homeless adults
made for much better employees than the flaky, no-show teens ever did.


In So Cal..they are ALL adults..generally semi english speaking adults

Teens are too busy blowing their way too large allowances on $400
Nikes, video games, and loud exhausts/window tinting for their
Accords.
