The employment shortage reality

In Moab I saw a Wendy’s advertising 18 dollar an hour jobs where you were paid the next day for any hours worked.

Even Aqua’s sister had a “closed until further notice” sign

It's the same here. Grocery stores, restaurants, everywhere. But as of today Ohio has ceased participating in the government unemployment boosts. That may bring some folks back to the market.

President Biden has a plan. “Pay them moooore, man!”

If you can't enact a national minimum wage, you can always manipulate wages upwards...

People cry out that he doesn't understand that the higher wages will just lead to inflation, and socioeconomic positioning will stay relatively the same except for retired individuals living on savings (they'll be screwed...). I think they are wrong. He understands perfectly. But, inflation takes some of the sting out of his spending bills and reduces our debt percentages. And if wage increases result in fewer jobs and more automation, then they win again as they explore UBI.

I went to Jimmy Johns today..... unexpectedly CLOSED because of staffing issues. So I went to Subway instead, they were training 2 brand new employees. Every store has a "hiring" or "signing bonus" sign in it. It's crazy.
