Trouble on Team Green

It is funny how different parts of the country have more of one and none of the other, Here the JD lots are empty , but kubota lots are full.

Been a green guy for many years also. But yes, this Covid crap has got the country in a bind. Local car dealers can't get pickup trucks to sell...local Jeep dealer hasn't seen a new Wrangler in 2 months. Personally, I've been looking to get a new Yamaha side by side and guess what? No dealer in northern Nevada has any to sell and no idea when any will be delivered. So if you find something on the lot that's still unsold that's your only choice.

Same problem with the labor force. All our local businesses have "Help Wanted" signs hanging in the front windows...yet the county reports 9% unemployment rate. Too many people don't want to work...they'd rather live off the taxpayer and stay home and do drugs.

Are you sure you aren't talking about yourself? Are you one of those 'no children left behind' kiddies? You surely sound like it.

What is your issue?
Are you attempting to start a TBN fight ?

Must be someone who doesn't realize the extent of the druggie problem we have currently.

Not one company around here will hire anyone without a drug test - and most have random drug testing for all employees after they are hired. It's a liability thing..."under the influence" or "impaired" gets people hurt. And that of course means alcohol too, not just drugs.

We test before and random. Some low level employers around, tell us that as much as 80 percent of their tests come back positive. We also have help wanted signs everywhere. And a lot are more than low wage. Mostly, I think people are lazy.
Kids in high school in summer, don't want to work. The last ones wanted $15 an hour, cash, no taxes, me providing breaks, drinks, paid lunch with me providing the food. During heat I try to stop at least for 10 minutes out of the hour to cool out and have a drink. They come to work late, leave early. Take 3 breaks an hour. Don't even show up for 2 or 3 days, and then show up wondering why they don't still have a job. To many mommy's and daddy's giving the little kids too much. Kids 4 years old with cell phones, 16 year old driving a more than my first house cost me. That is the reason McDonald's wants to have computers taking orders. Someday, tractors will have to be driven by computer, because everyone will be too lazy to drive it.
Back to today's tractors..

Question: What does the drug issue have to do with the... "Trouble on Green team".... TRACTOR discussion on this thread?

Let me see. . . Drug Issue = Marijuana = Lots Of People Smoking It = Legalized Pot = Marijuana Crops Needing Tractors = Shortage Of Green Tractors.

How Is That? :dance1:
