    see, i'm seeing a bunch of these stories, about how employees won't work on retail or mom and pop's burger store for $11 an hour and this about workers ghosting employers implying that there's more job offers than there are candidates, and then i look at the border crisis in both mexico and the US. historically when there's a lack of workers, the US will relax the border and offer working visas en masse, but the opposite is happening, it's becoming stricter. so there's something fucked going on here. why are they pushing this idea so hard when there's obviously no shortage of workers whatsoever? is it because of covid relief? are you even getting covid relief in the US? why would they want to push this narrative so hard, i don't get it.

      No there's no covid relief in the US, except for a small stipend for parents. They slashed unemployment as well.

      I'd say it's contradicting forces at work but Biden is the one ramping up border security, so I'm not really sure. I was thinking about this as well.

      Some ghouls could be using the senility of Biden to get things prepped for the real fascists to takeover, they're certainly making the conditions perfect for it.

      Wait for the eviction crisis to really happen, prolonging it just a bit actually may have made things worse as it's just getting people more underwater.

      That'll be the time they start really revving up the para-militaries.
