Biden MOCKS A Struggling Business Owner — ‘You Should Be GLAD I Let You Stay Open’
enVolve ^

Posted on 07/23/2021 11:47:11 AM PDT by A.M. Smith

A restaurant owner struggling to find staff asked Joe Biden at a town hall this week how he plans to encourage people to re-enter the workforce and leave behind their large COVID unemployment checks:

During a Wednesday town hall, John Lanni, the co-founder and owner of the Cincinnati-based restaurant group Thunderdome, asked the president, “How do you and the Biden administration plan to incentivize those that haven’t returned to work yet?”

Biden’s retort to the restaurant owner was both arrogant and authoritarian:

Biden, who was speaking in the auditorium of Mount Saint Joseph University, responded, “One, if you noticed, we kept you open. We spent billions of dollars to make sure restaurants can stay open, and a lot of people who now — who worked as waiters and waitresses decided that they don’t want to do that anymore because there’s other opportunities at higher wages, because there’s a lot of openings now in jobs.

I thought pretty much the same thing when I saw Bidungs response. It was “We let you stay open, and pay your employees more!”
Bidung is a leftist moron, being controlled by evil leftists.

Yes. Sitting on the sofa smoking herb and having Netflix and chill while Uncle Sam send them more money than they were making before.

DemonRATs and especially Joe... always classy.

Funny how the people who love to stand up and declaim their compassion are the most insulting. Well, Jesus knew what to do with the Pharisees.

I really wish someone would step up and make the sacrifice. As I’ve indicated, you’re pretty much on your own.

Get it right, Joe:

We spent took billions of your tax dollars to make sure restaurants can stay open...

There is no "we" Joe. "We" is the American public, not you. You didn't do a damn thing other than force people to wear masks when wishy-washy Fauci wasn't sure whether they work or not.

My Mom talked to the manager of the bank she goes to a few days ago..the manager told her that they only have 1 working teller so it will take much longer to answer the phone so my Mom asked her why(Thinking maybe there was a covid outbreak there or something like that) and the manager said in an angry voice “No one wants to work, why work when the Govt sends you free money” yeah even bank tellers are sitting at home instead of working cause of the Dem govt freebies

Stunning how badly Biden’s doing ....acting like we should be grateful he’s in charge? He speaks more like a scolding and abusive father than a President....when he can keep his word salads reasonably in check.

Bammy: “You didn’t build that.” Same idea. They are marxists and want all businesses seized and sucked up into the government, which becomes the sole employer.
