I was in a long check out line yesterday because only one person was working. Someone behind me asked the cashier if she had any help and she said, "just my manager but she's in the back working on something else." The person behind me said, "God Bless you for working because nobody else seems to want to. We've got that idiot, Biden in office so now I have to buy my groceries here to afford to eat. We need Trump back and everyone's afraid to say it. Well, I'm not afraid, I'm saying it to you all!"

i've noticed a lot of shops in my area are cutting their hours due to low staff, and i've def been standing in longer lines to check out.
where is everyone getting their money? why aren't people working?
I think a lot of people are dead.
And others disabled...all because of the vax.
I'm a welfare worker and this is the slowest we have ever been. Those people who aren't working...they aren't getting welfare either.
My liberal neighbors correct me when I say 'welfare'. Their term is 'public dollars'.
My neighbor calls blackbirds "welfare birds." :)
The younger ones are still getting Biden's generous unemployment. The illegals are getting more federal money than those on Social Security - twice as much or more. You see both groups shopping during work hours everywhere. Yes, some are working at home but not in my area. You'll likely notice those who are working are elderly - retirees who can no longer live off their Social Security and retirement funds, if they have any. I've also noticed the older customers have mostly disappeared from Walmart and other grocery stores. They're at Aldi or the dollar stores trying to keep themselves fed. No news organizations are covering this, not even the so-called conservative ones.
Dollar stores have waaaay higher prices that bigger, true, grocery stores! It's kind of a running story that dollar stores are only in areas where people are poor, because they can't afford to have a car and get to a real grocery store, not that the food is cheaper at a dollar store.
I respectfully disagree with you. There are many grocery items that you can purchase at the dollar store way cheaper than you can at a grocery store such as deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste and canned goods. The next less expensive place where you can also get produce, meat & seafood would be at Aldi's or Fresh Thyme if it's on sale.
This is true at least for Western PA. Anybody else care to chime in?
Spices are a good deal there.
I feel so sorry for the old people I see at the dollar store with their little baskets full of tiny portion foods, tiny one-person sized dish soap and other cleaning items. You know what I get there? Bottles of mucus relief pills (aka Mucinex) which are way cheaper even with 15 pills per bottle.
I'm working from home and have been since 2017.
I have a theory that many illegals have been sent home, drastically reducing the work force. Someone here had a post that dug into illegals being sent home.
Also, with white hats in control, bogus work visas not being issued so work force size drastically reduced from that.
Here in FL, e-verify kicked in July 1. Not sure how much it really makes a difference.
Interesting. Trump said he would send them home.
Some areas of the country were trying out giving people monthly income. https://whyy.org/articles/philly-to-pilot-a-guaranteed-income-experiment-giving-cash-to-some-needy-residents/
Didn't Boston try that along with Romney-care with miserable results? I thought that Hawaii also tried something similar and it actually discouraged people from working.
Gosh, who could ever have expected that?
