If people don't know how to swim, they have mental illness. Swimming is innate in humans.

Specifically, no, but it's his party's fault.  They've been on the rampage of pushing for $15/hr minimum wage nationally.  NJ is in the process of doing it.

minimum wage has just about a zero impact on this economy right now.

And this is somehow Biden’s fault?

Also, lifeguarding is probably one of the most “skilled” jobs a minor can have.

Where did I say it is Bidens fault?  Jesus...hair trigger much??  Go back to getting pegged by your wife

Less needed. Are you not thinking of demand for work? Just some ideal wish you have?

Retard, you just created a thread about a disaster due to lifeguard shortage, now you're saying there is no need?

[MDC 7,881]

If swimming is innate to humans and lifeguards are useless then why is a lifeguard shortage a disaster?

Well based on this thread seems there is a demand…

I think part of the issue is lifeguarding is only a summer job, so if high school kids want real money they are probably working jobs that can be done in other seasons as well.  So the main demographic for lifeguards is probably college kids.  Not sure why that market in particular has dried up.

You would think they would be working since they are drowning in debt.

But they’re not going to be for long since Biden will forgive their student loans.  So it is Biden’s fault!  (I agree the student loan forgiveness thing is dumb, and don’t think it will actually happen).

We'll see if Biden dives into that, personally I think he's going freestyle.

Point is, everthing when it comes to jobs, even lifeguards, are hurting.

Has even the tiniest thing gone in the right direction under biden?

There is a public pool near me that has closed some days because they couldn't find a lifeguard. This shlt is surreal. 

 

Those who love beaches and pools should be cautious this summer before hitting the waves and the water. 

The U.S. is experiencing a nationwide lifeguard shortage and the American Lifeguard Association, based in Virginia, warns it is only going to get worse.

Fox News Digital on Thursday talked to the American Lifeguard Association's director of health and safety Bernard J. Fisher II, who indicated that the shortage poses an urgent threat. He said that he’s "never seen it this bad."

"I can almost call it a ground zero," he warned.

Fisher stressed that the lack of lifeguards in America right now is just "as bad" as the nation’s baby formula shortage.

On top of that, Americans still "haven’t seen the worst," he said.

The shortage, impacting about a third of the country’s 309,000 public pools, has caused some facilities to limit hours of operation or close altogether.

There are also lifeguard shortages at beach, water parks and other facilities, he suggested.

"These kids — they've had so much hardship on them with the pandemic," he said.

"And now when the temperatures go to triple digits in a lot of our cities during the summer, we're not even going to have a community pool open for them." 

Added Fisher, "I'm actually ashamed of how some municipalities threw in the towel so early."

Okay, I don't know how you blame this on biden. But I'm not surprised but some people are trying to.

 

Either claim that the federal government shouldn't have power over the most minor s*** in our country or don't. State and local governments can easily pass shield litigation legislation that protects swimming pools and their owners and operators from lawsuits. Post a  sign that says swim at your own risk, and we wouldnt need f****** lifeguards at all.

 

Think this is f****** a radical concept? Maybe travel outside of the country for five f****** minutes.

[wiffleball 4,797]

And can we stop talking about the hardship these kids endured under the pandemic? Oh Jesus christ, you got perpetual snow days. You got to stay home and f*** around on your computer. You didn't have to face bullies or what the f*** ever. You didn't have to even shower if you didn't want to.

 

Jesus, I would have given up my third nut to go through a so-called pandemic in Junior high.

[Gladiators 2,032]

I thought cops were supposed to be lifeguards too.

Nobody is going to drown if you just tie them to a corpse. As a bonus, they might be able to pull off the impossibly difficult Double Triple Lindy at the next swim meet.

Correct. How about we just put up signs at the border saying cross at your own risk. Then we shoot the fock out of anyone crossing. 

Focking maybe travel to other countries for 5 focking minutes.
