I dont trust plebbit/jewbook/MSM for news. I need the Misc's viewpoint. Whats causing all this shortage? I thought unemployment benefits ended in August? How are people paying the bills without working? I dont buy the COVID chit. They use that an excuse for anything. I think the vaxx mandate may have played a role in alot of people resigning lately. Enlighten me.

People dont work to only eek by. They expect to be able to pay for basic housing and still have plenty left over for a decent car payment and savings and retirement n=and get their student loans paid off and have health care that doesn't bankrupt them.
Given, some dont have any in-demand job skills and cant expect to make much money, but they still have reasonable expectations to afford to live without going into debt or going hungry

At first I didn't get it either but here's my understanding:
You work for say $10/hr. You go to the store and buy a product. (1) It's not available because everyone else bought it. (2)If its available, its now 20% more expensive.
So, the $10/hr you are working for is worth $6. If you are working for someone and they haven't increased the wage, you are working for free half the time.
So, you whitecels need to stop printing dollars and inflating the dollar by funding your chit tier military. Yourre going to get your chit pushed in either way by China.*Catholic Crew*

2020 changed the greater society forever. Ded srs.
Labor shortage is literally everywhere. Truck drivers, restaurant/retail staff, you name it. Anything customer service. Anything even remotely physically taxing. Even several starbucks locations in my vicinity are closing at 1pm due to staffing issues. Doesn't matter what the pay is. It's not the pay. Ded srs. I offer minimum wage positions but I'm paying anywhere from $4-$7 per hour over min wage and I can't keep a single employee. Flashback to 2-3 years ago offering a buck or two above min wage and I'd have people flocking.
Went from high applicant volume and some people would show up for interview and some people would show up to first day. Now, no one even applies. I get literally 0 applications anymore compared to 12 a day. If/when someone is interested in a position they're demanding wages that are unheard of and are never worth their salt upon hiring.
People don't want to work. It's the attitude shift. People want to be free and be on their own time. No one wants to be on a schedule. No one cares. People are late, can't wake up, and have too much fun while they're off and that's all they look forward to.. It's always been like this but people used to restrain themselves. They just don't want to work. Don't know how else to phrase it... Oh, and weekends are the new religion and cult. Good luck finding someone willing to work weekends, especially sundays.
It's everywhere. I see it everywhere. I ask and talk to other business owners. It's more of a lazy, unmotivated mindset rather than a pay problem.
On the money side of things.. The "raise min wage" cult will always be chasing their tails and it will never end. All they're doing is adding to the inflation. Min wage was never designed, or intended to pay the bills. It never will.
Everything else is mentioned in this thread. Everyone, all the peasants feel entitled to fancy things and "lavish" lifestyles because they want to mimic what they see on social media.. Think instagram. Monkey see, monkey do.
End of the day, humans are still primates. Nothing but a sophisticated ape.

Early on it was folks not wanting to get off unemployment. I'm sure there were some lo-IQ individuals worried about catching corvid, as well. Now you're seeing people taking value of their health over the system in losing their jobs over taking the clot shot. I suppose the trend will continue until savvy purebloods create their own systems as mudbloods are controlled in perpetuity until their demise.

In March 2020 the market took a huge crash(which conveniently aligned exactly with COVID. COVID was then also used as the scapegoat to blame this crash even though it had been predicted for 4+ years prior) and what followed was the subsequent injection of over 10 trillion dollars by the FED (More than 25% of what the US has printed since the birth of the nation). Do you not think this had something to do with the inflation we're now seeing? They are forever propping up a system that will by its own design, crash and burn. Inflation is inevitable when you have no backing for your currency other than "We say its worth something so it is"

It's true that people don't know what hard work is anymore. I remember my first job out of university was 50-60 hour weeks busting my ass and it taught me a lot.
People now don't realize that there's a ton of opportunity out there for someone who wants to do a good job. Instead of it taking a couple of years to become a manager, you could do it in less than a year because there aren't any good people. Even crap places like Amazon you can get promoted twice within first year if you just put your head down and do a good job. A manager at Starbucks even makes 55k a year where I live. A McDonalds manager can make 80k. Amazon 71k. Those are all liveable salaries.
Problem is now I've been working for myself for so long I can't imagine being in an office or at a computer working 40 hours a week. I've been offered decent salaries but it doesn't make sense to take them, even with the security.

Nothing explains it 100%.
You can say that its a workers revolution where people are sitting out under the guise of fear for their health due to covid. That may cover some old, fat workers with savings. You can say that its people sitting out until wages improve, not likely as this would be highlighted by MSM to push the 15$/min wage narrative. You could say that its the vaxx mandates and changes in workplace in general the past 18 months. This makes a lot of sense, however you'd also have to believe that all the low skill workers (restaurants, logistics, service, ect) all had 18+ months of savings to sit and wait on, doubtful considering every month there's a new study saying 50% of Americans cant afford a $400 surprise bill. The stimulus checks were not sufficient funding to live for 18 months, so doubtful on that theory. Unemployment may have allowed for people to sit out for as long as they have, however at some point thats going back to normal as just barely enough to eek by.
Then you have rapid inflation mixed with people not working critical jobs like logistics, trucking, ports, airports, ect. This causes the products to go way up in price to cover inflation and now to keep up with demand for the product too.
Just wait until Jan 4th when its do or die for companies with 100+ people and 25% of their employees drop out for not vaxxing. That's why they pushed the "emergency order" back 4 months from its Sept announcement, had to wait until the holidays were over so they can experience less inconveniences for the average american during a labor shortage (no food, no airport, no resturants, ect).
Don't want to be too critical of the current democrats, but in the last 20 years its as if the liberals dont understand human nature and think no one will take advantage of bloated social spending/safety nets. The whole conspiracy vs severe incompetence theory gets juicer and juicer by the day. I'd like to think they made it to the top, so they must be competent. Then you see the pattern in their work over the decades and you wonder if there are dark arts at play. Failing upwards is starting to show its consequences.**Florida Crew**

We're beginning to experience stagflation.
srs.
Shills are going to say "but muh retail earnings were STRONK!"
No they weren't. Real inflation is about 15-20%. Your earnings were boosted by inflation, you simpleton.
But "muh demand". There is strong demand relative to supply. I wouldn't be surprised to find that actual demand hasn't gone up much. The supply has definitely sunk. You combine this with opening the credit floodgates, and it leads to the inflation mentioned above.
Inflation does not equal economic growth. In our case it just means we're printing too much fooking money.
TL;DR we're circling to the toilet. srs.Misc Entrepreneur Crew

Here are the events:
1. We printed a bunch of money causing high inflation (official numbers are 6.2% for inflation, but we all know most things are at least 20% more expensive compared to a year ago)
2. Lots of employers won't adjust wages for cost of living for existing hires, but will for external hires
3. People switching jobs to tread waterBest lifts:
