This is not entirely on Biden. although the unnecessarily large stimulus package in January didn't help. It's also on our Federal Reserve, which despite 5%+ inflation is still stimulating the hell out of the economy. It makes no sense whatsoever. I don't think there's any grownups left in Washington.

When college and High School let out for the summer they were not going to get unemployment benefits. Most states stopped the added benefit. When those benefits run out for the rest of the states then what is the excuse for a labor shortage ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t think this country is a mess right now, you must be living under a rock. I could care less if you ignore me. You’re already ignoring everything a demented Biden has done to destroy the country. What a mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as that. Sociologists and Demographologists... How about this...the Town of Lake Placid cut its Ironman competition by 40% and moved half his Lacrosse tournament to Albany, forgoing tons of important revenue for the town...big hit economically. Why? Afraid of the virus? NO, the municipality, the hotels, the restaurants, nobody could hire more than 40% capacity. Real-world evidence, not some BS "professorial writing".

Country is in big trouble. I think it’s pretty clear that people aren’t ever going to return to those low wage jobs. Some still seem to be in denial about that. No one wants to return to their pre-Covid life. We’re seeing evidence of that all across the workforce. In our lifetime, American workers have never had the power they presently have.
