US Chamber of Commerce Urges Biden to End Pandemic Benefits: ‘Paying People Not to Work’ Killing Recovery

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce called on the White House to end expanded federal unemployment benefits that were implemented during last year’s pandemic relief efforts, saying the extra monthly payments are hurting the economy by keeping workers out of the labor market.

Joseph Stolen and his fellow Stalinists would prefer to tank the economy.

It shouldn’t require a Rocket Scientist or even a good Psychic to predict this outcome.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a branch of the Uniparty Globalists. They're going to spread that lie that extra monthly payments are hurting the economy by keeping workers out of the labor market because they'll never tell the truth that illegal lockdowns are to blame.

Employers can't have it both ways; if it's dangerous enough for a state to have lockdown measures as well as mask and social distance requirements, it's too dangerous to be working. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has to be honest about illegal lockdowns and push to remove them instead of blaming workers for not making poor decisions in the face of a scamdemic.

Same CoC that is one of the cheerleaders for the Cheap Indian Labor Express

All the while forcing career level workers back down to entry-level positions as Indians destroy the US middle class

We are almost done with lockdowns here in north central Wisconsin. I live close to a tourist town who is dying for employees. McDonalds pays upwards of $15.00 hour. And the local gas station chain (Quiktrip) is offering a $500 sign on bonus. It’s crazy...no one wants to work.

Plenty of people will work. But $15 @ 24 hrs a week (29.5 max due to obamacare) with a non-fixed schedule (typical of fast-food, grocery stores and retail) just doesn’t cut it.

The hardcore unemployed are now the skilled white and blue-collar career level workers in several industries that have not re-opened yet who cannot step down to a starter job with no benefits
