I don't disagree... but at the same time COVID flat out destroyed our job market. Free money for the masses... and lazy people continue to be lazy.
Case in point...
I know 2 teenagers who made $150 per week working part time at a local pizza joint.
Covid hit... they lost their job.. AND GOT THE MAXIMUM $600 PER WEEK UNEMPLOYMENT.
Say what?
My mom did the same. She's retired and worked part time as a bartender 1 day per week... $100-$150 a night... and collected nearly $500 per week in unemployment. Told me she banked nearly $30k over the course of the pandemic.
Meanwhile I didn't miss a day of work in my "essential" job.
