Its been 2 years. people shouldnt be encouraged to live off of government assistance, unless they physically can not provide for themselves. Livable wage. People are being encouraged to live off of government assistance if it pays better than the jobs available to them.

ScazarMeltex 09/07/21 11:20:11 AM #43:	TheGoldenEel posted... Where is the evidence that people arent working/are living off the paltry government assistance? the unemployment rate is not notably high anymore Yep, unemployment rates did not change at all when a bunch of red states cut off the extra federal unemployment money. 700k people exited the work force via COVID and thousands are hospitalized with that number growing rsther than shrinking in most places. Workers in food service and retail bore the brunt of COVID deaths. Only to continue to be treated poorly by both their employers and the customers they served. They are leaving in droves and I don't blame them. They don't exist to serve you. Either support raising wages or accept waiting for 20 minutes to get your McNuggets or in line at the checkout of your local grocery store. Or you can start growing and cooking your own food. Your society cannot function without these people. Time to treat them with respect. --- "If you wish to converse with me define your terms" Voltaire <cite>ScazarMeltex posted [p:957816392] in As unemplo...

I was talking to my wife about this yesterday. corporations have been threatening for years to get rid of fast food, retail, manufacturing, etc jobs with automation. now those people found other ways to get by and its a crisis? --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ <cite>TheGoldenEel posted [p:957816427] in As unemplo...

There being government paid benefits not to work and rent protection isn't capitalism so stop pretending that this is a capitalism situation. Businesses struggling to find employees but still refusing to increase wages, then being forced to close down is indeed capitalism. Begging people to work for whatever your business can afford is not capitalism. --- Alpha Sapphire FC: 2552 5569 3267 <cite>DarkProto05 posted [p:957816462] in As unemplo...
