"Hmmm... How do I get rid of all the voters who will remember how I screwed up the grid thing? Oh, I know." -Governor Greg Abbott
Exactly!!!!! 🤔 It's a win-win for him. The people smart enough to wear masks are still going to do it. And the people too stupid to wear masks refuse to anyway. It changes the subject and throws a lollypop at the whiny brats that make up the right wing base of the GOP. 🤷🏻♂️
@@rneumeye I lived thru it and I will Never forget it.
@@litascott3237 our hearts continue to be with you 🇺🇸😤
Exactly
Abbott, DeSantis, Cruz...all these guys look like they lost too many fistfights in their youth.
Keep wearing the masks for now no matter what the Republicans say .,...
In a year there will be a video of me on youtube getting thrown out of a Walmart for refusing to take my mask off. (Won't need a mask everywhere ... but definitely in a Walmart!)
@@jasonfaulkner8644 yes to steal muahahaha
@@alexandramarberry1023 Godspeed Alexandra. Thankyou for working the front line during a pandemic year.
Honestly, I have so much scar tissue over my trust of the American public that I don’t know when I will stop wearing a mask, regardless of the presence of a mask mandate. I can no longer trust more than 1/3 of my fellow Americans to care about protecting the wellbeing of the people around them and it’s both disillusioning and disgusting
For me Got that right!!!
"We're the party of the working class" said the man who went to the Ritz in Cancun while his constituents froze without electricity.
That's why the Country Club Party hides as The Republican Party doesn't want to vote to $15 an hour living wage.
You do know *every* congress person is a millionaire. Republican or Democrat, they are living in a nicer house than you. :)
Governors of Texas and Mississippi act irresponsable in order to thwart the great efforts of president Biden to counter the coronavirus. It 's a filthy, bad deadly politcal game of both governors of Texas and Mississippi and it will cost many Texas' and Mississippi 's sickness people and also lives.
@@brigittevaes3672 gmorning miss brigitte why do you think its wrong to be free. To b frank we never locked down,and there have been a few corp businesses that required masks but to be completely honest i have wore a mask 1 time since the very beginning and that was at a casino for couple hours. I obliged my better half and did not question the narrative. As that is all it is. There is far more of their very own data and studies saying masks are essentially useless in preventing transmission of virus. Just yest the cdc published a report saying that there May be a 1.32% chance that a mask helps. Thatd be if there was in fact a known deadly disease being spread. This novel virus sars cov2 covid19 has Not as of Yet been proven to exist thru previously agreed to standards procedures of isolating purifying and replicating a new virus. Theyve All essentially admitted just as Fauci has stated himself,they Do Not possess any Isolate of a novel virus. Furthermore the pcr test if run at C/T above 35 are essentially meaningless as a diagnostic for detecting disease,theyve all been runnin higher than 35 some higher than 40 which is producing a very high rate of False positives. The antibodies tests are if anything more fraudulent than the pcr. They are using antibody tests that were made several years ago for sars cov 1 and regular corona virus. If one has reading comprehension and retaining ability you can go yourself on any of their websites and see for yourself. The mRNA vaxx is Not a vaccination by the very legal definition of vaccination. Vaccination implies some sort of immunity to a disease and none of these "vaccination" claim anything of the sort. If youd like more of the actual truth about what may actually be the biggest crimes against humanity the world has ever seen. It is Worldwide Hoax. Go do the research yourself. Look at the overall causes of death rate. The numbers are basically unchanged from 2019. Why is that? I dont even know anyone whos been sick and have contacts relatives across u.s. and world. I know lots of folks in Nj fla La Ca etc where the pandemic was raging according to msm and Nothing. My gf her 89 yr old mom and also her sis tested covid pos. Lol not even sniffles. Dozens of people at jobsites test positive an have to quarantine for Nothing. The hospitals were never overflowing with cases or bodies. All a lie. Im not a trumptard or a bidentard or political tard of any type. They can all kiss my ass,as theyve lost my consent to be governed. Which was my initial reason to respond. These governors know theyd already lost the narrative as we never really shutdown or masked up here. And we,re Not going to unless we personally feel or know a reason we shud. Put quite simply we are free people and these clowns masquerading as some percieved authority to lock Anyone down besides someone who has been given his her rights of due process is in fact treading on very thin ice Lawfully. We the informed members of public know our inherent rights that All people possess anywhere in this world. I dont need a bill of rights or a constitution. Thats the gov the Public Servants job policies. For Them to follow. And if they stray from that they can be stripped of any qualified immunity and have liens lawsuits placed on them personally. They possess no magical powers and imho i think after this horrendous mistake theyve made either thru intent or incompetence they should in fact be seeking Forgiveness in a very humble manner. This is All complete bullshit and whether as i said intent or incompetence will be for a Jury to decide. That goes for the media parroting this fearmongering garbage on the American public. The Do Not Rule Us. I hope i mayve gave you a little better perspective on the Truth. As you will find out in time,youve been on wrong side of history. If youd like further factual evidence that i speak the truth just say so. Ill be happy to oblige mamn but the lies and fearmongering have got to stop. Its doing far more harm than any virus has. If your under age 80 your chances of survival are 99.8%. In other words you stand better chance of doeing in a veh accident on way to beach. Get out and live mamn hug your loved ones. Thats far more beneficial than any poison they wanna jab ya with. ✌
@@brianfitzpatrick6554 that is unbelievable amount of verbal diarrhea, just to say, "Your feelings are more important than facts." 500 thousand americans dead doesn't phase you at all, does it?
As a Texan I'm just going to ignore whatever my Governor saying and keep wearing a mask in public.
hell yeah. much love to texas, hope you and your neighbors are safe (or at least safer)
Just gonna say, Late Night is one of the few shows that drops their core before it airs. I don’t know how they get away with it, but it shows massive respect to their audience; getting us what we want most without having to hassle with waiting for a certain time, or being last in line with an upload. To me, it’s noticed as an appreciation of the fans. Thanks again, y’all!!! (I say that because I check in on YT at 7pm as frequently as I would “tune in” at 11)

I’m in Australia and Seth is always first. I can expect it to drop about 1pm, just after lunch. I don’t know the order they take on TV but I know Seth's first, then Jimmy K & F, and later, Colbert.
An apartment building has been on fire for a year. Despite the fire department's best efforts, they've only got 7% of the fire out. Suddenly, the idiot landlord shows up and tells everyone it's safe to go back inside. The fire fighters and the tenants look at the smoldering coals. They look at the floors that are still raging infernos. Then they look back at the idiot landlord.
And 40% of them go back inside, dragging grandma with them, because their right to do so is the most important thing, and firefighters are elitist tyrants who want to use "information" to violate your rights and tell you what to do.
@@Zzyzzyzzs No firefighters are the health care workers trying to keep people alive.
@@neutronpixie6106 I think you missed his point.
and then they go in because they are republican sheep.
I love that the GOP says Dems aren’t on the side of the American worker despite the fact they’re trying to give them a living wage. 🙄
Republicans say one thin while doing the total opposite.
There is no such thing as a "living wage".

I can't get enough of Seth Meyers! Witty, informative -- and he even throws in a reference to my favorite movie!
Texas governor: "it's time to open Texas 100%!" Translation: "Please stop hating me for the blackouts and having to boil your water."
I am in a small town in Texas, and I have not and will not forget the long hours without power & heat. Rolling outages that could have been scheduled, but NO, surprise after surprise. I am angrier that there are no vials of vaccine to be found for the 1B group, over 65 years old. I know my small city is trying, but it is the state's fault. Not a priority for Abbott.
Impeach him: www.change.org/p/greg-abbott-impeach-texas-governor-abbott
Someone gets it! Overload the hospitals, that helps the nurses get paid more right!? Lol shameless
@BETHANY R Jimenez as someone who does live in Texas, I’m voting for him cuz he’s one of our greatest governors and isn’t following pseudo science, get over yourself 🤡
@@lavarballscousin9391 We super believe you're a real person...
As a Texan I honestly can say without a doubt that we don’t care what abbot says, it’s like whenever he talks is a weird case of Opposite Day. We wear our masks, stay 6 feet apart and wash/sanitize our hands.
John Price - Stay healthy John !!
I wish your rationalism was contagious.
You dlnt speak for everyone in texas.. A lot of people feel differently..
John, do you live in one of the urban areas? My fear is the folks that live in all the rural areas. When you look at mask compliance, data shows that as you look west (from the east coast), compliance continues to decrease and if you are on the west coast and look east, mask compliance decreases. In *general* it is the middle of the country (Trump country) that mask wearing is the lowest. I’m in a major city on the east coast and I’ve not seen even one person without a mask in 11 months. 😷
Then why vote for him?
Seth's German is actually pretty decent. Hats off to him!
No one here in Germany says Klippenbügel, Seth, we say cliffhanger :D Love your show
As a Texan I wish my governor would be taken out back and flogged.
You could raise so much disaster relief money like that. You don't even have to flog him, just let Texans throw snowballs at him and Cancun Cruz.
Gotta tell ya...the rest of the country has our fingers crossed for a bit of peace.

I need updates from late night because laughing helps when you want to cry.
@justified hate thanks. Im named after a song by B.R.E.A.D 😊
Yep same here! Although I adore Seth & he is not only very funny but his writers are incredible!
@@aubrey1633 Oh I know that song 😍. Good one & your name is beautiful! I often wonder what possesses parents to name their kids names that are either valley girl names or just awful ones like Bertha or Bluto, etc as just an example. I LOVE The Simpsons and any time I hear children’s names being discussed I start chuckling immediately remembering Homer telling Marge that they have to pick a name for Bart so he won’t be teased mercilessly. Well of course they go thru all the typical ones until Marge is so exhausted that she blurts out Bartholomew & Homer goes; WooHoo (which I love the sound of not to mention his giggle 😂😂😂😍😍😍😂😂😂) not realizing that the short name for Bartholomew is Bart. Bart, Bart who fart farts 😂! DOH
You don't even have to ask. Here's a genuine "AMEN" from Florida, where the orange creature of the lagoon lives. Please let us know if you would like custody of Rump. We will pay postage. Please take him, cause we hate his guts.
On the nights that Seth is off I don’t laugh at all. It’s really pathetic.
"An epidural to get through a manicure" LMAOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
I loved the oddly specific description of being at a club.
“Texas seemed like a harmlessly funny place before I moved here.” - Me, a frantic, former Midwestern who has been internally and externally SCREAMING since I got stuck here a year ago
Get ouTa there Bridget.
Bridget-with Abbott and his crew running things, I’d leave if all my family wasn’t here. I don’t know when things will get better. You may need to move for your peace of mind.
@@luluesparza7360 I likely will once my apartment lease is up. Hope you and your family are safe through this crazy time!

Move to El Paso, you'll be fine. The government is functional, and the power works.
Germans listening to Seth proclaiming German things: Sir, we applaud your effort! "Klippenbügel" needs to be a thing now!
I first thought Klippenbügel was just Kauderwelsch meant to sound vaguely german, but I can now see how how they came up with that: they google-translated cliff and hanger as separate terms; google translate chose to interpret „hanger“ as in coat hanger, hence „Bügel“. And thus, Klippenbügel was born. Wunderschön.
Grandios, ich lache immer noch :)
No, we don’t. You are free to write about your thoughts and opinion but you cannot speak for anyone else.

"I can't believe they only get two 30 minute breaks" Bro, I never worked a retail job in my life where I got even 1 FULL 30 minute break. My last retail job I had to be "on call" during my 10 minute lunch break, meaning most of the time I didn't get the break.Thank God I'm my own boss now
Yeah two 30 minute breaks sounds great!
Sounds like you needed unions too! It's insane to those of us who don't live there what American employees will put up with.
That would be illegal in the UK. How is it possible they can do that?
I used to work at a bakery and my first boss never wanted you to take breaks, granted there was no where to take a break other than outside. The second boss wanted us to so we typically took our break to quickly eat something, but still no sit down, even though we had a place. If I were the boss I would make sure everyone took their breaks and had an actual break room.
Now you are in position to cut the breaks, awesome!

That a deadly virus such as N1H1 can kill people because it is strong that today's medical treatment can't contain but doctors find ways to defeating it and they found vaccination test thoroughly that can help those in need of medical attention getting covid19 handled that virus was formed into killing the human immune system and stopping people from breathing that is who it kills its more deadlier than any disease or virus known to men in US world history it kill if you like to pretend it doesn't exist it does

German citizen here and that picture you showed of the state Baden Württemberg in the „Krimiserie“ picture is actually a famous snapshot of the town Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the state Bavaria. That would be like talking about how awesome this show from New Mexico is and then showing the Alamo.
Also funny: The party who claims to be pro free market freaks out about supposed cancel culture when a corporation makes a decision they don't like.
Also also funny: The party who claims to be pro-life freaks out about supposed leans against their “Amendment-given Rights” when doctors and specialists say masks will save more lives, and immediately jump onboard cheering for COVID.
Most of these people couldn't come up with an actual definition of being "cancelled" if they tried. Of course, those who could might then notice that their definition also applies to things like ending slavery. Or maybe that's when cancel culture was born!
The Potato Head toy decision was purely an economic one. Cheaper to make one version and put all the parts in the box. It's not a popular toy anymore so it makes a lot of sense to condense two almost identical products into one.

I think my Governor wants me to die, BUT I'm going to wear my masks and keep social distance so I can vote against him next time up.
Meanwhile, 80% of deaths are over 80 yrs old. And of those senior citizens that vote, the vast majority vote Republican. So, your Governor is also a bit stupid, electorally speaking.

@@ThisUserHasBeenCanceled No, its never been that. Its lock down until the majority of people are vaccinated. That's what herd immunity means. We aren't there yet and neither is Texas. So nut up, shut up, and wear the damn mask so you don't get people killed. Or so you or your loved ones don't get killed because its certainly not just the elderly that die from this.
@@H240909 If I get the vaccine, I can still infect other people. The only people that need a vaccine are people that are vulnarable (mostly elderly). If they don't get sick anymore, the problem is OVER.

Uber should have unions too. Oh wait ... half those cars will be autonomous inside 15 years. No employees = low overhead. Picture all those empty cars trolling around the city, empty, waiting for rides. The owner at home in his mansion eating Doritos, watching the passive income progressive from his sofa. I digress.

@@jasonfaulkner8644 , Look at what happened in California, those 'contractors' already are not employees! This is actually cheaper for Uber as the upkeep cost of the vehicle is someone else's problem. Automatic cars are not going to change this in the slightest either, for it still will be cheaper if those where officially owned by someone else. All Uber would do is offer a contract where they assign riders to those vehicles, which is all they claim to do for drivers right now in any case. Any damage to the vehicles, up-keep, or any other cost will still be the contractual obligation of the owner of the vehicle. No reason to change this 'push the cost onto the owner' model regardless if the vehicle has a driver or not.

For those who don't speak German, "Unterhaltung fur die menschen" means "Entertainment for the men", and "Krimiserie" means "Crime Series". It's still not nearly as direct and blunt as German proper.
Menschen means people not men.
I'm sure I'm not the only ARMY who loved the BTS on SNL reference. That said, I think you deserve more than a tumbleweed in your standby line, Seth.
But the GOP was very concerned about "thousands of good union" jobs when the Keystone pipeline was cancelled...
Canadians too.
1200 short term destructive jobs. Not worth it.
Those jobs were temporary, mainly construction workers (which are already unionized). You dont expected teachers to build their own schools or doctors/nurses to build their own hospitals. Even if the pipeline was done, it'd employed far less people whereas, as of this taping, green energy jobs employ far more and pay more.

The packers at my old warehouse needed to send packed products out every 8 seconds (could be multiple items in the same box but the number of packages is what they care about.) I am unfamiliar with the amount of the outgoing dock... but Decant (incoming products) is expected to have a rate of more than 110 an hour, thats the bare minimum, and thats the number of boxes you need to cut open, ensure all product is present, put it into a tote, and send it out without breaking anything or missing anything, otherwise after three times of doing those you lose your job. Pickers (people who pick stuff off the shelves) need to be getting an item, ensuring it is the correct item, and placing it in a tote at *least* every 7 seconds, the managers I knew all expected 5 seconds or less, although they couldn't write you up if you had 6.96 sec they would find another reason to write you up and get rid of you. Unions at Amazon are completely necessary, because Amazon cares more about their Robots than they do their people people are cheap and easy to replace chances are they have hundreds or even a thousand or two, applicants waiting to get in behind any given employee, and even if you are especially good at one thing they don't care because they can have someone just okay at it do it as well because foresight and efficiency mean nothing to management if you aren't doing a direct role. Unionize. I hope they are able to succeed in Alabama because if they succeed there more warehouses will follow suit and it is desperately needed for all their warehouse workers.
I’m fully vaccinated and still wear my mask every time I leave my house. I don’t want to make someone else uncomfortable because they see me not wearing a mask
That's very considerate and responsible. It's also a very smart idea because science knows that the vaccine is very effective at keeping people from getting (very) sick from COVID-19, but it's not yet known whether it eliminates their ability to host and spread the virus.
Thank you !

Southern states out here trying to out-stupid each other. Why don’t we want them to secede again?
Hooing the south breaks off in a earthquake then gets drowned in the sea rising from global warming.
I'd be fine with them being their own country of DUMBASSES but then they would have all the Beautiful Coastlines and I can't imagine the suffering that the DECENT people who wouldn't be able to afford to move would have to endure. These people are a Virus in and of themselves and their behavior needs to be eradicated.
In all fairness, I see this argument a lot, but don't really understand it from a data perspective. Florida is in the better half of states when it comes to COVID deaths/capita (29th?), and they didn't wreck the economy in the process, AND kids are in school, AND they also have the challenge of the oldest population in the union. Meanwhile, full lockdown states like NY, NJ, etc are not just 50% worse but in some cases 100% worse when it comes to death rates. So, like I said, I don't get it. Maybe people just see "republican" and get upset. I'm not sure anymore.

However, for the COST we pay for these lockdowns, which is literally tens of millions of lives ruined (and I don't throw that around lightly, we're talking savings drained, businesses lost, education out the window), I would expect to at least see a discernable difference between typical "lockdown" states and typical "open" states. But - please correct me if I'm wrong - the data simply doesn't support it whatsoever. So while COVID sucks and is a real thing, we should at least consider the fact we're making the situation 10x worse than it ever had to be by also causing all of this undue economic hardship.
@@notconvinced Thank you for acknowledging those of us who'd rather not essentially be left to die. Although even blue states have their red zones and so on. (Both Pelosi and Devin Nunes are from California, for goodness sake.) It's really becoming a more rural/urban divide than regional, and even then rural kids don't deserve to die just because their parents are in a committed relationship with stupidity.
So these adult's biggest issue in life is children's books, television and toys? Lucky bastards... Guess it's back to the real world for the rest of us

Cancel culture is something that needs to be fought against regardless of party
I only get my news from Seth Meyers. His the best 😊
The Salk textbook joke is where I lost it, too good!!
According to Republicans: Cancel cuture = when a company modifies a property that it owns but you think you might get an outraged soundbite out of it.
For a party that claims coporations are people and free speech they seem have have a problem with a corporation using its freedom of speech.
As a native German let me say that we also use the term "cliff hanger". The literal translation sounds really funny though 😂
Need some work on this.
Spannungsüberleitungsbogen?
Perfect Translation would be Kliffhänger. Pronounciation almost identical. "Bügel" is only a hanger in the context of coat hangers. Kliff, Klippe are both german words that can be used as synonyms, but a "Kliff" only exists at the coast, while "Klippe" can be anywhere where it's extremely steep while being high. So... actually we say cliff hanger or Kliffhänger and you wouln't be able to determine which one we used, cause it sounds identical. :)
That Pacino was great!! On par with Hader 🤣😂🤣
HI Seth. Thank you and staff for the pleasant distraction.
Why is Amazon anti-Union? "Amazon doesn't want employees capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation" - paraphrasing, Carlin.
Why is Amazon anti-union? Because they're required to be. Any publicly traded company has a fiduciary responsibility to maximize profits at all costs. You know what cuts into profits? Unions.
@@bblvrable what?Amazon doesn't pay the fiduciary impost of being Unionised. Employees do, as Amazon has been continually peppering employees with emails about too discouraging joining & the President has said, knock it off and let them choose. Back off.
@@warpedjaffas1 Haha what? Do you work as one of those anti-union consultants Amazon hired or something? Unionized workers earn on average a 50% higher wage than non-unionized workers within the same industry. Are you suggesting that if Amazon ends up paying their employees a 50% higher wage, it won't impact their profits in any way?
@@bblvrable l'm not suggesting what you stated earlier, that's for sure. Totally false statements aren't a good starting point for any discussion, or attempt thereof.
@@bblvrable Dude who even cares about Amazon's profit. They make enough. No amount of raise for the workers will result in Jeff Bezos becoming poor. The only one I see talking anti-union stuff here is you.
The late night comedies are the only way we Canadians can get REAL American news! Thanks Seth (and Stephen Colbert).
So don't watch news. Watch what is actually going on, from politicians mouths and actions.
@@bonnierussell9798 to be fair, you do need the media for that, often. But there's a huge difference between opinion/news. In the US, that distinction is a bit fuzzy. Hence the great newsvalue of satire. It tends to be about ridiculing hypocrisy (hence the mountains of gold under Trump), not just some opinion. It is more bipartisan in nature, though it still has a blind spot as well. I like John Oliver better, considering true news. Late shows focus on the hypes and the insanity of the day. John tends to focus on the deep underlying problems. Yet, both only have a marginal effect. Entertaining at times, scary as a model...
@@corbeau-_- - Try PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) News Hour (if you can get the US broadcast in Canada, or wherever you live).
You can watch more comedy at the US/Canada Border. US citizens crossing carrying cannabis and firearms etc. which are allowed in USA but illegal in Canada claim Canada is an extension of USA but are led away in handcuffs.
Same, but add Amber Ruffin and Trevor Noah!! Need representation giving us the news.
Amazon employees don't get two half hour breaks. I'm disabled, but have to work to afford crazy things like food. I was pulled aside and reprimanded my first day after training. She said I took an hour for my second break. I hadn't even taken a half hour. I asked how that could be. She said when you drop off your cage, your break starts then!!!! But you have to get a new cage, which takes time, because they aren't light. Then you have to drive the cart across the whole warehouse to try to find a parking space for it. Then you need to take off your brace support. Then, since the parking spaces are all the way down at the end of the warehouse, you need to walk all the way down the whole length of the warehouse to get to the break room. I said, you wouldn't have more then a 5 minute break doing all that. She looked me straight in the eye, and said 3 to 5 minutes, that's right. Well, I'm 58 and the last 2 and a half hours of a 10 hour shift, and I was seeing double anyway. Just to get to your break, you needed a break. So, I never made it back. I couldn't drive home; I was a wreck. The work is hard and stressful. I was a picker. You drive a cart to a bin, scan the bin and then scan the item, although there are sometimes a lot of bar codes, but none are correct, so you have to bring the item to the managers to have them print out a bar code, but if you do that, then you're taking too long between items picked (scanned). Just thinking about it makes me start shaking.

Side note: some nights Seth just nails the sweet spot of his stream-of-consciousness show and I really love it. What a gift!
Fred definitely got a HR report (or should have) for that passive aggressive delay of sound effect support. It will be in my personal log if you need it Seth.
FedEx wants workers to scan, pick up and stack boxes in trailers within 6 seconds to scan another and repeat. You go to the bathroom and your hand scanner rate drops. Let me be clear, 500 boxes per hour for one employee is the bare minimum requirement. After achieving that timing, they push you daily to go faster. I left when my trainer recounted how many injuries she's gotten there like it's a badge of honor. Our local hospital know FedEx insurance information by heart because of how many ppl are injured A DAY.
Everyone in Austin is like, nope, I'll keep my mask on thanks.

How the heck is it insane Amazon workers "only" get an hour break? That's standard. For every 4 hours you work you get a 15 minute break. So, if you're scheduled for 8 hours, you get 30 minutes. You also get 30 minutes for lunch. That's why a lot of shifts are 9 hours, so they can still get 8 hours of production out of you. Shoot, in most of the jobs I've worked, I didn't get the two 15 minute breaks. Sometimes not even the 30 minute lunch break. And last I heard these workers are also getting paid $16/hour. So good pay with breaks is definitely not insane, Seth.
Dear Seth, on behalf of all Germans I'd like to thank you sincerely for the word "Klippenbügel" (so far we haven't had our own word for "cliffhanger")
But you do have your own word for it we just toke it an use it most of the English language comes from Germanic languages.. an Romance language. So it most likely already was your word
Stop pretend speaking for anyone else! Your opinion is not mine, ok?

How are you for the “working class” but fought with all their might against the $15 minimum wage.
Most smaller business will not be able to pay their employees that much money and thus have to let people go, downsize or shut down. Also, many people over the age of 25 and educated do not work minimum wage jobs.
@@jl5504 if you cant afford to pay your workers a livable income then dont open a business...? a lot of people have to work multiple jobs to struggle to pay rent and those jobs are considered essential, including having to work on holidays. workers shouldnt be taken advantage of no matter the excuse
