Like millions of Americans each year, you order a package, food, or
valuables. Delivery day arrives. You open the door. You discover the
product was damaged. Or it was stolen. Or it is missing.
Why are the mishaps growing by leaps and bounds?
Food delivery apps such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub, and mail
carriers such as the U.S. Postal Service, UPS, and FedEx, are populated by too-good-for-honest-work kids seeking quick income at jobs they hate.

The quality of service plunges accordingly. Additional havoc has been
created by an increase in the number of illegal immigrants who flout
vehicle registration and traffic laws while delivering food.
Last April, three Republican senators sent a letter to Uber Eats,
DoorDash, and Grubhub demanding information about the vetting they have in place to prevent migrants from creating driver accounts. This letter was provoked by a New York Post article describing how the influx of migrants
into New York City has given birth to a black market for registration with these apps without a federal tax identification number.
Specialized task forces have emerged in big cities targeting migrantsÆ violations of registration laws, speed limits, and related rules of the
road in making deliveries. Amazon is similar in employing virtually anyone
as a driver to deliver packages through the app Amazon Flex.
DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub have shielded themselves from liability
for deliveries gone awry through terms of service communicated in
miniscule type. DoorDash stipulates that it ôhas no obligation to provide refunds or credits but may grant them gratuitously at DoorDashÆs sole discretion in each case.ö
Grubhub states: ôGrubhub, in its sole discretion, may offer credits or
refunds on a case-by-case basis including, by way of example, in the event
of an error with your order or in the amounts you were charged.ö Credits
as compensation is a poor substitute for correct delivery the first time.
Packages are the same story as food. If there is a photo of a delivery,
even if itÆs not on your front door, youÆll still have to jump through
hoops to get the package covered by the mail carrierÆs insurance if it was
lost or stolen.
These liability disclaimers would be superfluous if the workforce was
properly motivated.
Companies worldwide are confronting a young workforce accustomed to
indolence and idleness. According to recent studies on the work ethic of Generation Z, approximately 3 in 4 managers believe it is less than
suboptimal.
An independent survey found that, according to a sample of 1,300 managers,
at least 1 in 8 had terminated a Gen Z employee after less than a week on
the job. Gen Z employees are rapidly being replaced by mature workers and migrants hungry for work at substandard wages and conditions.
The secret of wealth is human capital. And the secret of human capital is
a work ethic that scorns sponging.
We are losing the economic race with China because our human capital is diminishing. Escalating tariffs that spike prices for consumers is not the answer.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
