Noodles Restaurant Union, Ivy League Hiring Bias

A viral clip features a young employee at a Noodles restaurant advocating for a worker-led dictatorship and the abdication of the owner's authority. The hosts attribute this mindset to the "spoiled" upbringing provided by Baby Boomers and the inflated expectations set during the dot-com boom. They also discuss reports that major companies are now exclusively hiring from Ivy League schools, leaving most graduates without career prospects.
