Yeah, the monthly $300 that the feds were paying not to work ended shortly after Labor Day.

It was $300 a week, not a month. That's on top of the state unemployment also. Then there's the eviction moratorium, plus all the extra money for having kids. Add it all up and even with the $300 a week unemployment going away the non-working are still taking in a LOT of government freebies.

Fedex stock took a hit yesterday because the profits were down due to the extra payroll costs. What they're not saying though is that Fedex's profits are still through the roof, it's been that way since Covid started. They're just having to pay more for workers than they want to pay. They're still making a metric chit-ton of money though.

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!
