This is an issue in my home state, they keep crying about brain drain, all the most talented young people are moving away, and what could they do to get them to stay?
Then they go and do some GOP boomer bullshit and blame the young people for their problems.
It's weird watching it happen to whole states. Back when I was a kid I watched the folks just a little older than me all leave my shit town. The old people bitched because there was no one to do the shit work at the plant anymore. But they opposed anything that would make the town attractive for younger adults to stay. So the only ones that did were the ones in too much poverty to leave and the ones making meth to sell to those people.
They voted to keep the county dry. They voted no to bars with private memberships. No jobs except for the gas station, waiting tables, or breaking your body at the plant for minimum wage. Any social activities got run out of town by the churches (even the skate park). All they had for teens was to sit in a field and get drunk or do drugs. But why the hell is everyone leaving?!?
Entire states are doing the same shit now.
It's a particular type of vocal idiot.
I've sat in at Union meetings where for the first half hour or so two guys would bitch and bitch about over time, how they're not hiring anyone and working us to the bone, and without taking a breath, bitch about letting work release program guys do any work at all.
No one wanted the fucking jobs. They had to go to guys still in prison to fill those slots and these two idiots all but demanded that they be sent back to prison.
These people aren't ok with anybody having anything until they get theirs, and once they do, they want no one else to have anything.
