Some of that building back better going on huh.

Several weeks ago one of the beverage vendors was In Kroger talking to Mr. GG2 and offered him $28 an hour to help stock shelves because he can’t get anybody to work. Mr.GG2 couldn’t believe it.

I wish that were happening around here. The highest pay I see is $15/hour, and the jobs seem to fill quickly.

Read not long ago that the unemployed make more than I earned as a technical writer in my peak earning years. What a strange world we live in!

Not just seniors, but many late season boomers looking at the working landscape and deciding it is not worth going back especially to a woke business world. They did their homework for potential early retirement, becoming sole proprietors, etc.

Millions of people make these decisions everyday, even with the enhanced Covid payments..

If you would like more information about what’s happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me. Please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.

Those who qualify for earned income credit (or whatever it’s called) are getting $300 to $350 per month per child deposited into their checking accounts on the 15th of each month. Four children (two under six—and two under 17) equals $1300 per month. Add that into their foodstamps and rental assistance money and there is no need for them to go to work. If they live in a low cost-of-living state they can manage just fine without working.

People can be pickier about jobs when they aren’t paying for housing. Much of the housing in the US is still under eviction/foreclosure moratoria, and even that which isn’t will require individual journeys through court systems by landlords to evict their deadbeat tenants. This can take months or more.

Things might change as more deadbeats find their worthless asses out on the street.

Yeah, the monthly $300

Weekly not monthly.

I”m still here, so it didn’t.

Well we certainly hope so, don't we?{:~)

Note to FedEx: Lose the muzzles and make it clear you’ll never mandate a vaxx.

Problem solved.

I think this is a very important point, and applies to much more than just FedEx
