    Don’t mind their burgers, can’t stand their fries. But Shake Shack is at another level. And their chicken sandwich is amazing!

    Perfect weather today for the Fremont Fest over in our hood. I know it’s the EastSide, but we still had fun.

    I was reading an article the other day about 911 receptionists being unable to man the volume of calls for the first time in modern times...they lost 48% of their work force over covid and had already suffered high turnover due to stress of the job. They apparently are severely understaffed now all across the country and people are dialing 911 and nobody is able to pick up more and more often. There's a job market for the unemployed out there struggling.

    So true!

    I do not have hard numbers to back up the info below, just impressions based on info from various sources.

    The average age of workers in the construction industry is raising. There is a shortage of younger workers learning the trade. Some claim "part" of the housing shortage is due to the lack of workers.

    If true, how about training the homeless to be carpenters, plumbers and electricians.

    Not only will the homeless learn a necessary trade, they will get paid a good wage to build their own homes.

    They are electricians. They just focus on the demo and sale of copper wiring, not the installation.
