I think THIS is the point: If we bring back (or better: establish) the mindset in the public, that any form of legal employment has its intrinsic honor ("I can life with the fruit of my own hands work", "workers pride" and so on) then i think the motivation for crime could go down...
- matthewdgreen 5y agoMcDonald’s very deliberately structured its workforce to be lower-skill and replaceable, even though it would be less expensive for them to hire skilled employees like short-order cooks.
