I am being bumped off shifts by a retiree

Before we light the ovens, may we consider the fact that currently savings interest rates are less than 1% the boomers that were responsible and saved need to work because their savings wont support them. why are savings rates low - because the fed is dumping money to support the job market....

Secondly west ward expansion is over - instead of an ever expanding pie - we are now dicing and slicing that economic pie ever smaller.

Thirdly - this is the big island of Hawaii there is no work here compared to major metro areas ..tourism and retirement ..... wanna work - need to bring your own job ....its a tough place to make a living

and finally - I see folks with skills in my field half my age with twice my smarts - taking home really good salaries - I bowed out I just dont have the drive they do. (anymore)

Those with skills shared by many may not do so well in this competitive labor market.

Add to that - computers have replaced so many employees - when is the last time you actually talked to some one when you bought your hawaiian airlines ticket....

the IP folks replacing the call center workers etc.... it is why I will not use the self check out lane at market - we need checkers not terminals....

I think your plan for mass euthanasia may bit a bit pre mature - grin
