Do they correspond with the layoffs and other downsizing happenng quietly due to tariffs?

My Son is in Reno and can't get a job for shit. But then again, he's got a really crappy history (no longevity) because he was basically on the road and everywhere for the past 2 years... He *said* he got rejected by Taco Bell the other day cuz of that...but I don't know.
Maybe if he told them he was "van lifing it" instead of in bad situations, it would look better...

But he's a priviliged whie male, so where's his job?

ugh... the poor and unprepared, under educated will always be at disadvantage.

(Mind you, I also know he lacks the focus and longevity...I just pray it's a side-effect of being 22!)
