   #Florida deciding to use children to address its worker shortage. Another solution would be to pay a living wage and provide decent benefits, but that is apparently woke. https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/columns/2023/09/24/florida-bill-considers-getting-more-16-and-17-year-old-teens-employed-to-ease-states-worker-shortage/70908358007/

     "shortage"

     is a word with a meaning.

     this ain't it. This isn't a "shortage" it's a crisis of miserliness. PAY. That means offer more money until people show up and do the job.
