Reply to What happened they literally just finished building the upstairs hand out spot? by Dismal-Bumblebee4932

It’s a very difficult market right now. A lot of places are closing. Some of it is supply chain issue, another contribution is people trying to save money. A third contribution no one really talks about is a change in consumer habits. A lot of places reopened last year expecting customers to behave as they did in 2019, but most people’s habits have changed. A lot of people are more leery of eating out, which hurts restaurants that expected customers to come swarming back.

it’s is true that peduto is a pos. however i think the part about young folks not wanting to work is boomer mentality. no one wants to work but since we have to we want to be paid a livable wage and be treated with dignity and when we sense anything less than that we give our employers anything less than our best. it’s quite simple really. we don’t tolerate abuse like the older generations did.

it’s shocking that you went from correctly blaming government and political officials who are actually in charge of legislation, to the young people in this city not wanting to work. if we use your logic, people like peduto are hurting small business in this city which in turn hurts employees = employees not wanting to tolerate shitty conditions.

people stop listening to you when you throw out the old “young people don’t want to work” fyi

It's that young people have been trained to think that social interactions that happen outside of commercial real estate don't count.
 
When I first started dating my wife, many years ago, neither of us had any money. We spent a lot of time at local parks, or hiking trails. To this day most of our stuff outside of the house is cycling, hiking, etc.
 
I've suggested going to a park or something nature-related to people outside of this sub who were lamenting that it's too expensive to go out now, and was told that going to the park is weird.

 
People have been trained by a hundred years of capitalist brainrot to not enjoy their lives unless money is changing hands. It's sad.

Butterwood Bake Consortium in Upper Lawrenceville is open until 11pm every day. They're closed on Tuesdays I think. The slices of cake you can get there are so good it hurts. I don't drink coffee, so I cannot say if it's any good, but they'll give you a pot of tea and it's lovely.

Not exactly an answer, but if you like new things this may be a partial solution. If you get a Quest 2 VR headset, you can get an app that has a free consumer version called Immersed VR.

You can view your computer screen (and even add up to five virtual displays) in the headset.

You can work in outer space, a virtual office, I think a movie theater.

They have a multiplayer coffee shop space where last I checked there was always usually a couple people there working or just chatting.

The paid version of the app lets you have private multiplayer experiences.

But in all multiplayer areas you can also choose if you want to share your screen with others (so you could collaborate with someone in the coffee shop if you wanted.
