Every time I hear some business bitching that nobody wants to work well it's not the workers. It's you. They don't want to work for your shit wages and I don't blame them. You never see "HELP WANTED $15.00+ an hour" signs for more than 10 minutes but the "HELP WANTED $10.00 an hour" signs stay up forever.

That's capitalism. If your profit margin can't absorb a few dollars an hour for increased wages, you need to raise prices on your products or services. No different when material, utilities, fuel, or maintenance costs increase.

Actually almost every single place near me offers 15 or so but needs workers

Might be your area, in some expensive places to live $15/hr is pretty shitty. Here in Houston the take-home pay for $15/hr would have covered rent in a safe area, food, gas, insurance, and not a hell of a lot else years ago. And this isn't the most expensive city.

Because that's not a living wage.

In the UK they just had to put truck drivers wages up by £10 an hour just because immigration stopped due to covid. That's nearly $15, as a rise.
