I see plenty of people not working every day. They do not appear hungry nor thirsty as they stare into their phone or walk along with speakers in their hands or ears.
All part of the Great Reset envisioned by the World Economic Forum and the rest of the hoity toity maniacal groups walking in lock step to Build Back Better. 🤢
a fedex mgr i was talking to this Saturday said they are down 30,000 workers
i was asking him what was going on as I went to my closer store only to find it closed, even though its slated to be open
he said that location only has two people working the store
i said last week there were 3-4 people there working
he says some may have been promoted, or left, or went to other stores
but they are short everywhere, drivers, store employees
i just wonder how many are covax casualties, dead or incapacitated
Incorrect. This happened after the Bubonic Plague.
Pathetic pearl clutching. Butter, properly cooled, will last for years.
Why aren’t there enough people to do these jobs?
Stop the welfare benefits and extended unemployment and the creeps abusing disability programs and then see how quickly that changes things.
Which in America simply does not usually mean the food is "expired," ceasing to be safe, nutritious and good, but that it is usually past its "best to use by" date, and if keep cold (keep you refer as close to freezing as possible on the top shelf) even boxed salads should be good for a week. But I microwave such (aside from greens) well before eating. Thank God for such.
Part of such is related what this article worth posting attests to:
Every month, 14 million people now get a disability check from the government...The federal government spends more money each year on cash payments for disabled former workers than it spends on food stamps and welfare combined....The vast majority of people on federal disability do not work.[1] Yet because they are not technically part of the labor force, they are not counted among the unemployed...
In Hale County, Alabama, nearly 1 in 4 working-age adults is on disability.[2] On the day government checks come in every month, banks stay open late, Main Street fills up with cars, and anybody looking to unload an old TV or armchair has a yard sale. ..There's no diagnosis called disability. You don't go to the doctor and the doctor says, "We've run the tests and it looks like you have disability." It's squishy enough that you can end up with one person with high blood pressure who is labeled disabled and another who is not....The health problems where there is most latitude for judgment -- back pain, mental illness -- are among the fastest growing causes of disability.
People on disability are not counted among the unemployed. "That's a kind of ugly secret of the American labor market," David Autor, an economist at MIT, told me. "Part of the reason our unemployment rates have been low, until recently, is that a lot of people who would have trouble finding jobs are on a different program."..disability has also become a de facto welfare program for people without a lot of education or job skills. But it wasn't supposed to serve this purpose; it's not a retraining program designed to get people back onto their feet. Once people go onto disability, they almost never go back to work. Fewer than 1 percent of those who were on the federal program for disabled workers at the beginning of 2011 have returned to the workforce since then, one economist told me....
As I got further into this story, I started hearing about another group of people on disability: kids. People in Hale County told me that what you want is a kid who can "pull a check." Many people mentioned this, but I basically ignored it. It seemed like one of those things that maybe happened once or twice, got written up in the paper and became conversational fact among neighbors. Then I looked at the numbers. I found that the number of kids on a program called Supplemental Security Income -- a program for children and adults who are both poor and disabled -- is almost seven times larger than it was 30 years ago.

Who wants to work at a place that forces mask wearing and an experimental shot?
How are those dropping out of the workforce surviving?
Wages. Wages are not high enough so we have a shortage of labor.
Because they are all gathering at the US southern border?
When you can get $600 per week on unemployment why would you work? A 6 month vacation sounds good to a lot of people.
Covid fear porn is one factor and the Democrats giving $00 a week extra in unemployment benefits has convinced most people to stay home.
