The one guy is baffled he cant find hoards of people to work for the $10 an hr jobs he has. My brother said he wanted to turn around and say you try living on $10 an hr.
The problem is American consumers that shop on price only and don't care about quality or the working conditions and pay of third world workers. $10 an hour is a lot to pay when most products are now made by $10 a week workers.
