You took it on as your own and it didn’t work. Anyone not happy making “$2.13/hr” is free to look elsewhere where they can make “non-slave wages” Or they are happy to be unemployed. Kind of the crux of the conversation. Link to comment

If they can make that work once extended unemployment runs out, which in some states is happening sooner rather than later, then great for them. If when they do come back into the workforce, they don’t want to come back to a “$2.13/hr” employment, they don’t have to. Kinda the point of a free society and supply and demand economics. 1 Link to comment

Now circle back to all the we can't get anyone to take jobs. Supply and demand have started to balance and it looks like the supply may longer be there. Thanks for coming around, buddy. 2 Link to comment

How could a career affordable and public housing professional get that question so wrong? It is pathetic. 3 Link to comment

You will have a different perspective on the situation. 1 Link to comment

The conversation started because of something Sasse said. He should be worried about Nebraska and in Nebraska the unemployment rate is low. And restaurants in Omaha are struggling to find help. Which means people found different lines of work...just like you told them to do. Good for them! Link to comment
