Here in America, we have called out the National Guard to drive school buses.
Massachusetts National Guard Activated To Help Deal With School Bus Driver Shortage
It’s not a mystery at all. The governments are all paying low wage workers to stay home. At some point, these low wage and skill workers will have the rug pulled out from under them and they will form the army that will demand worldwide socialism.
Close to a 2% drop in labor participation rates since Covid started might have a bit to do with it

This is what happens when the friction of testing and masking is jammed into a just-in-time economy. The gears start seizing and incentives are skewed.
Labor won’t appear until hunger starts.

Alien Abduction?
It’s part of “overwhelm the system”.
Ping!
Paging Karl Denninger.....please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Wonder if worldwide chip shortages are creating industrial inefficencies that are resulting in more costly labor to maintain production levels.
Here’s why.
An overnight shift in a local Walmart shut down, because nearly all of the young employees fell ill with COVID. Some were hospitalized.
The store advertised for new employees with large banners and an offer for higher pay. For quite a few days, none of the noisy, political chickens applied to take their places. After a few more weeks, a few obviously exceptionally fit, vaccinated teenagers took the jobs.
Same at a local bank. The tellers who worked there are gone and have been replaced with vaccinated teenage girls.
The article keeps asking the question - but never attempts to answer it, except to talk about people possibly quitting due to vax mandates
They all died from Covid
Here’s an idea… eliminate ALL the dozens of freebies and welfare at state and Federal levels and see what happens. Hunger drives work.
Death and disability from the vaxx needs to be considered. The impacts will grow through the Winter months.
In a world of artificially low interest rates (cost of money), there is too much overinvestment for the available labor.
There are TOO MANY businesses with business models that are not viable anymore.
RAISE PAY 25% more or higher and people will begin going to work for these higher paying jobs.
STOP the government subsidizing labor with immigration.
Then, we’ll have a normal labor market.
Massive truckers’ strike has Australia looking like Venezuela…

Matter of fact, it would be better off.
It’s called “welfare”, Jim.
