I see signs all over town.....in windows.....out by the edge of the road. HIRING, $20.00 hr, benefits, signing bonus....people don't want to work. They're getting too much money from our so-called government. The government is literally paying people NOT to work!

We The People, who are working are paying for this! How long can this go on!!??

The Biden devils are on a quest to destroy the USA.

I'm going to pop a vein in my brain if I keep paying attention to this ****.

End of very angry and loud rant. You just can't hear it.

I took the "free" stimulus money because I figure the assholes in DC are just sending me back a very small portion of the $28k I paid in federal taxes last year! Bastards and I don't make THAT much that I should be paying $28k a year but I would rather get it back than it be given to some low life freeloader rioters being paid by this so called administration!!!

My free money that I gave to the wonderful government of nowadays. That they gave back to me to simulate the economy. I got a 1911 DW Pointman 7 45acp. How about that for gun control. 1911 # 10 or 11. I have to look.
I bought a Stag Arms AR and a (be still my heart) Glock 19 gen5, plus ammo. I would have bought more AmmoSeek but only got some of my allotted "stimulus" monies back:-(

The French economist, Alexis de Tocqueville said in the 1850s, speaking of the United States, "The Republic will endure until the congress learns it can bribe the public with their own money". Where are the so-called "conservative Republicans" while all this bribery is going on? Only Trump tried to stand up to this foray into socialism/communism. We see where that got him. Pity. He had the vision and the determination, but the votes were stolen.

In my part of rural Texas, Burnet County, the "Help Wanted" and Now Hiring" signs are everywhere. It's a sad commentary on our citizens who would rather sit and collect like welfarians than go to work and be proud of yourself.

We just had a woman fired yesterday for tardiness. When our 3rd shift trades guy asked her if she was going to be ok, she said yes she's only gonna get $80 week less than working 60 hrs a week with the extra "free" money and doesn't have to pay for child care! What's the benefit of working! And just to be clear this is a really good job that pays between $18-$28/hr for line workers depending on seniority! Starts at $18 and they get full pay at 4 or 6 years I believe!

I thought you could not get unemployment if you quit or were fired. Maybe the free covid money is different. $28 per hour? Sign me up! :D

I laugh, but this is really sad. I was laid off for a while due to the covid. The first week or so was nice, then I was ready to go back to work... Safety net, not a hammock...

I don't know as I've never received unemployment, EVER! I've never been without a job even in hard times, I was laid off once but was called back to work before I had my waiting week in.
Actually I was not laid off for covid or any other reason last year and made the most I ever have and I work in the same factory these others that don't want to get off their asses and show up do!! My son and daughter-in-law work in the same plant also and do very well to although they were both off for a short period of time last April

Help Wanted signs everywhere apparently, even here in the mountains. All the trades are needing apprentices, can't fill the demand for housing. Its crazy here. always been (or used to be) a lower wage area, we used to jokingly call it our tax to live in Gods country, median single family housing approaching $400,000. Who can afford that? Certainly no carpenter, even at these new higher wages. But supply and demand, I fear the "crash" that is coming this time will be a total freefall collapse.
Free $$$, no need to work, gov't will take care of everything, food shortages, as our nation has turned from the basis on which it was formed, that is a strong belief in God - not spiritualism or buddhism nor any other ism - we have turned to "do your own thing whatever makes you feel good" type of people. Even many who identify as religious are decieved by the feel good sermons the likes of joel ostein. Regardless of how little faith most have in the God of the universe, still when asked most folks believe they will go to heaven. Seriously? Time to dust off those Bibles and study!!! Read the word of God, all the different scenarios, the players, the times, all are addressed in the Bible. Oh but it was written by men. Nope, God Breathed words, written by devout men guided by the Holy Spirit. More proof for Jesus, His life and Resurrection than other ancient artifacts that most folks take for granted as "truth". We are in a mess, and there is but one way out. I know this offends certain people, so be it. We are instructed to share the Good News. If you're not a Believer in Jesus as our Messiah, I encourage you to get to know Him today.
I was going to continue, but deleted my words and will end here. I wish you all the lasting joy & peace that can only come from a relationship with Jesus.

The Gov of Florida dropped the hammer (sort of), starting May, you have to prove you have been looking for work or you will not receive OUR money for not working. It's a start and it has to start somewhere...keep on eye on this guy as he is going to reach for the brass ring in politics.
As for myself, a true believer in free markets, I decided to push back on my behalf... I asked for and received a raise (hadn't had one in 5 years). When the gatekeeper to my request asked "why do you think you deserve one..' Simple, our contract never blinked during the pandemic, we never shut down, never worked from home (our HQ folks still haven't returned from homeworking). l proved my worth, and look around...other companies that are hurting might want my services at a higher rate of pay! Raise approved. Might not work for everyone, or every company, but strike while the iron is hot...and right now is a blue collar workers market, might not be after mandatory return to work becomes national movement. Hell, I might even go to a trade school at night to learn to weld or HVAC tech, I might be long in the tooth, but I can learn and I am not allergic to work, just for a change of pace and a higher paycheck.

Why'd you stop? I don't think there are any nonbelievers in this bunch of good men. I was enjoying what you wrote as I shook my head in agreement.

You are spot on if you don't A admit B believe C confess , you eternal time will be just as unpleasant as it was when explained in LUKE 16:19-31. Like it or not you ARE going one of two places !
