Wow! Oregon McDonald’s Desperate: ‘Now Hiring 14 and 15-Year-Olds’

Big oof! A McDonald's in Oregon is so desperate for staff, they are now attempting to fill positions with 14 and 15-year-olds, according to the Washington Examiner.

“There are always staffing issues, but this is unheard of,” said Healther Coleman, Biddle Road location operator.

Coleman explained that she put out a banner in front of the restaurant advertising that the store is hiring 15 and 15-year-old workers. She added that young workers are “a blessing in disguise,” because they have “drive and work ethic.”

“While raising the minimum wage to $15 didn’t bring in as many applicants as she’d hoped, opening the doors to 14- and 15-year-olds brought in about 25 new applications in two weeks,” reported Business Insider reported.

However, it is not just McDonald's that is leaning on the younger generations to pick up the slack.

“The Texas chicken chain Layne’s Chicken Fingers is promoting workers in their teens and early 20s into management positions paying more than $50,000,” Insider reports. “CEO Garrett Reed says he’s relying on 16- and 17-year old workers to run new stores because he was so short on older, more experienced staff.”

There is also an Ohio Burger King who posted a sign that read, “Do you have a 14- or 15-year-old? Do they need a job?? We will hire them!”

According to the Department of Labor, 14-years-old is the minimum age requirement for nonagricultural jobs.

Sen. Cruz: 'Pelosi is Drunk on Power' - Probably Vodka Too

On Thursday, Senator Ted Cruz slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the Senate floor, declaring that she is drunk on power with her new mask mandates. Power isn't the only thing she is drunk on...I'd say there is some vodka in the mix too.

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts, absolutely. Great men are almost exclusively bad men, even where they exercise influence and not authority,” Cruz said, pulling from a series of letters to Bishop Craig from Lord Acton. He added that “those words were true in 1887, and they’re true today.”
