Where have all the workers gone? Why is it that since covid, there is not enough people to run a bar at lunch? Is there not enough young people being born, or all they all dead? I find it odd that in 2 years, theres nobody around to make me a damn hamburger? I know this is a first world problem, but i am just curious. There is a lack of workers in every industry, and its strange.

I have noticed this as well however I live in a blue state so I just attribute it to everybody picked up and left. Whole families moved down south. That takes out the entry level workforce. Teenagers looking for a first job had to follow mom and dad. Those in their late teens and early twenties are largely living at home so with the parents they go. Also we sacrificed all the elderly at the altar of modern medicine so there's quite a bit of inheritance going through the populations. After we all killed off our grandparents with arbitrary lockdowns, isolation, loneliness and then the icing on the cake the COVID shots it should be no surprise to anyone that a large generational wealth transfer took out a massive part of the workforce.
That's the best explanation I've heard yet.
