Well…damn, my stomach is feeling really queasy right now and I’m not sure why…yeah, I know I had a couple of cocktails last night, but it shouldn’t be this bad…but, that’s not what this is about…I’m sure you’ve heard the whining talking points by all the repub business owners that say that there is a “labor shortage” and that they can’t find workers since the workers can make more money with the extra UI benefits than they can working….god, don’t you just hate these people? With these assholes it’s always the workers fault for everything…I wonder if any of them have looked in the mirror to see themselves and the bullshit they’re spouting? Look, if a worker can make more money on UI than they can working for these cheapskates, isn’t it smart to not work for them? Raising the pay to lure workers to their businesses is never, ever considered since they think workers are overpaid if they make enough to pay their bills and feed their children…and that is one of the biggest markers of a “labor shortage”…that owners have to raise pay to get workers to take their jobs and they will after that happens…but, since employers would rather whine than pay their workers what they are worth, there is no labor shortage…and every economist who is not a repub hack agrees there is no shortage and workers are not just sitting on their couches eating bon bons…there are reasons that workers are not taking these crappy paying jobs just to be mistreated again…and you can see that mistreatment by how these repub employers are lying about a labor shortage…they just don’t want to pay what their workers are worth and that is their choice…as it is worker’s choice to not work for them…
