    I thought everyone was supposed to get all this unemployment. All this stimulus checks? Where's it at? Was it a sham? It's been a year since Biden's been in.

    Actually, right now GOP representatives are changing the unemployment benefit rules in their states so that those who quit (or are fired) due to vaccine mandates in the workplace are compensated. I recall that they wanted the benefits to end so that people would go back to work - now they are offering incentives for not getting vaccinated!

    I dunno, I got a $400 check last Thursday, said tax refund on it.. I figured it was BuyDumb sending me a early Xmas gift so I took advantage of Dunham's black Fridays flash sale and bought a S&W 40cal tactical "Auto loading" pistol and laser site :)

    I really hate that store!

    LOL, so that's how you see protecting employee rights and freedoms from tyrannical politician's overreaching mandates .. God only knows what this country will be like with more logic like that :) Won't be long before we are all taking a breathalyzer in order to start our vehicles, OH WAIT..

    See what allowing your masters to mandate leads to..

    Of course that reply doesn't even begin to address what's happening in the job market... At lest Pants, as sad a reality as he touched on had far more insight unwittingly then you put out :roll:

    why, so he can get burnt right back out of the industry he goes into?

    hospital workers: burnt out
    Truckers: burnt out
    Warehouse workers: burnt out
    Shipping workers: stranded at sea
    Postal workers: burnt out
    Restaurant workers: burnt out
    Retail workers: burnt out

    why yes please id love a job that requires me to start at 60-80 hours a week and have no life until I’m forced to quit due to overwork. Thanks

    why do you think there’s a job carousel going on right now. Overpriced stock market fueling retirements and consumer demand that is burning out workers and dissuading others from joining knowing they’ll get burnt out too.

    that said, very nice to hear a liberal talk about having a work ethic! Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps eh? Why don’t we talk about illegal immigration next so we can hear how much you suddenly love our country and want everyone else to share in the American dream. Lol

    You want unemployment checks despite there being so many vacant jobs that Biden has created for you? Something wrong with you? Some disability that you need nanny state to take care of you?

    What people need is now is not stimulus checks. They need to get up off their fat asses and get a job, already!!!

    He did not "create" them. There are vacant jobs because people will neither look for work nor work. Trump brought around two million workers back to work after the pandemic started. There has been little to no increase since Biden came president.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but he created them. And it's not that difficult. All you need is a stimulus directed at the middle class and... boom... more jobs available. To be fair, Trump's stimulus... even though it didn't CREATE jobs, it did avoid losing more of them. But he doesn't get points for it given that he had a part in creating the crisis in the first place.

    Who was dumb enough to think it was a life time deal?
    It went to far as it was.

    People left jobs because of the pandemic. Then they many of them failed to return to the job which left job openings. There is zero evidence that he actually created a job.

    What benefits are you talking about? The only benefits that Democrats promised, that makes sense, are the benefits in Biden's spending bill and that got watered down fast (from 3 trillion to 1.?something) because Dems in Congress couldn't even agree to it amongst themselves.

    There were also the stimulus payments and expanded unemployment, but support for that went out the window when inflation switched into high gear.

    I've heard that the FTC (federal trade commission) is looking into the high prices of retail and also the high cost of gas at the pump. Do you think they will find anything? Which will lead to solutions to fix it? I have my doubts, but since the Democrats own the government I have more faith that will happen than if the Republicans were in government due to their higher corruption.

    The government doesn't create jobs that pay for themselves, Joe has never worked anywhere but the government. and Joe really thinks he did the vaccines and due to his dementia thinks he was the creator of all things.

    There's no evidence any president actually created jobs.

    And that was a good thing, what I bolded of yours above.
    That means all D's are not putting party over country. But actually negotiating for what will work for them. And I think they actually got some R's to go along, which is also very good.
    Screw the far left and far right, they don't actually care about America, only a small part of it.
    But lets get things to the middle where the most of us want to operate. Enough of party over country.

    Baloney. Shovel manufacturers had to work extra shifts during the obama administration because there weren't enough shovels to keep all the BS coming out of Barry's mouth scooped up.
