Whatever Happened to Dignity? // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY
My wife and I spent about 5 weeks traveling from Charlotte, NC to several parts in Texas. We had a great time but noticed something in just about every city we stayed in: businesses are hiring and can't find people to work.So many people have opted to stay on unemployment rather than use this as a massive opportunity to get their foot in the door.
