Wildwood, The French Canadian Riviera
What I don't need to see when I am on vacation is a bunch of French wannabes in Speedos. I seriously doubt that the rest of the Canadian population wears Speedos as much as these psedo-frogs do. Also, why pay the same price for a skimpy loincloth when a full pair of shorts is available to you? That's bad economics if you ask me.
What truly amazed me about Wildwood, actually all boardwalk towns, is the amount of Eastern Europeans working in the shops, games, ticket booths, etc. What are American teenagers doing? The answer is that consumer society has given people the illusion of wealth therefore Middle-class Americans feel they do not have to work. Granted work sucks, this is what this blog is about. However, I have had a number of really, really, shitty jobs before I graduated. It helps me continue through each day because I know that I will not go back to those jobs.
The issue goes deeper. If you want to complain about outsourcing and other foreign interference with the American economy get out there and work. Don't just give the jobs away to former denizens of the United Soviet Socialist Repuplic, go out and work! Work! It is not you're right to sit on the beach everyday and party. Sure, it sounds fun, but when there are no jobs for you to do, don't complain.
Please, do not take this posting as an anti-slavic peice. It's an anti-laziness peice. Jobs on the boardwalk suck. Most summer jobs suck. Work sucks. It doesn't change. Employers want employees who work. If you don't work now the job you think you should have will be given to someone you'll complain about later. It has nothing to do with affirmitive-action and everything to do with the fact that you are dumb and lazy.
Don't complain if you are not willing to do anything about it.

I am not working and your Pat Buchananesque diatribe is not going to make me. I would rather have some engineering student from Latvia making my funnel cake then some spoiled idiot teenager from the USA. Americans are fat, stupid, and lazy, and if you don't like thatyou are a terrorist.
