      Thank you, I’m so glad we have employers telling us the reason why they are not hiring is because they hate zoomers even though they also know zoomers will be an important market to sell their commodities to, which they can’t buy without a job.

        If they cared about giving their employees enough money to buy extra things wages wouldn’t have stagnated for decades.
