Yep, just went out to a diner that was turning people away from Sunday brunch because they didn’t have a cook working.

Gov Evers here in WI went to a large local industrial employer here in SE WI a little over a week ago where the owners pleaded that they were short so many workers that they may have to move work to plants outside of WI. The main concern being that the fed unemployment benefits were keeping people from going back to work.

Only thing Evers replied with was “well then you need to start paying more”

This is what happens when you put a long time corrupt educator in charge of something they never had to deal with before.

Economics.

He, and the othe {censored} like him up in Denver, Boulder, et al, are a big part of why I’m serious about moving out of this ever more screwed up state.

800m$ in “free money” from DC reduces output in Colorado by how much? Probably more than that

The people living high on unemployment may have a nasty shock when the benefits run out. Businesses, in order to survive, have invested in automation to allow them to keep running with fewer people.

Why does the term “employment dessert” keep running through my mind? Driving more jobs out of Blue states will not make things better everywhere.

Polis knows Biden will reactivate the program due to lockdowns to fight the next wave of the dreaded variant. They won’t let the dependence end.

***this is “free money” from the federal government and he just can’t turn it away.***

That is what my Brother-in-law said years ago when, on gov’t assistance, he was offered a job making twice as much. His kids were also drawing “Crazy Money”.

“Work” was not his thing. Kind of like Maynard G. Krebs.

We have the same problem one state west (Minnesota)

I had been in the northern Colorado front range my whole life. It was a great place to be in the 60s, 70s and 80s, then California moved in. It's been headed down hill since then. It's gotten so bad that my wife and I moved to Florida in May. We don't regret leaving in the least.

And in those Red states which have done away with the extended benefits. Are their restaurants and retail stores fully staffed?

The main concern being that the fed unemployment benefits were keeping people from going back to work.

What wages are they offering?

[hoosierham]

The governors of Ohio and Indiana ended the benefits only to have judges order the benefits reinstated.
