But again, this is not a U.S.
issue, nor this is not a Trump thing.
It's the economy for the last couple of years coming off the high in 21 and 22, off the sugar high from all the government issues.
Hiring has absolutely collapsed.
And in an economic system where nobody's hiring, who suffers first?
Youth unemployment rises.
One of the key signs to a very sick economy is when youth unemployment rises a lot.
Again, it's not you.
There's studies in Canada that show youth unemployment has spiked.
In China, youth unemployment is a huge issue.
Youth unemployment is at a record high in China, and that was after they changed the definitions of what youth unemployment was.
So what we're seeing is a worldwide phenomenon where post-2021, businesses can't afford to hire risky employees.
Instead, what do they do?
They stick to the workers that they have because they're productive, they're known quantities, I can work with them.
I don't have to take the risk of hiring some kid not knowing whether or not they're going to actually work, what they're going to look like.
But in an economic system,
requires that kind of risk-taking for sustained economic growth.
So this is a multi-layered, multi-year problem, multinational issue.
It's not just something that just sprung up here in 2026.
This has been happening for several years now.
