Whole Foods CEO: young people don't 'want to work' - Business Insider

Whole Foods CEO John Mackey said he feared "socialists are taking over" in the US and that young people "don't seem like they want to work.".

It looks like they've taken over the military.

"I feel like I've become my father," he said.

Mackey attributed the labor shortage to COVID-19 unemployment benefits and said the company had greater difficulty recruiting in more "liberal cities" like New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco.

Mackey is one of several to claim people no longer want to work.

"I was telling my leadership team, 'Pretty soon, you're going to be hearing about 'crazy John' who's no longer muzzled, and you're going to have to say, 'We can't stop John from talking any longer,'" Mackey said
