basically addressing Kev, here
Before COVID, the labor shortage was so bad in the fast food industry here that in one radical case, a woman simply chose to close her once booming business. She couldn't hire anyone!
But there were cases of restaurant owners going right into a competing business AT LUNCH TIME and offering a wage to a counter worker that they simply ...[text shortened]... AL world works in a labor shortage, Kev, not the "logical" way your liberal lunatics paint it to be.

The share of national income going to workers has been declining for at least 40 years showing there is no structural "labor shortage" in the US. https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2017/article/estimating-the-us-labor-share.htm. see Figure 1 in that link.
@suzianne saidIf you would not take my money and give it to a person that I dont know, a person who ‘parasites’ on society, maybe a person who chose have a baby and then changed her mind..”chop-chop”, then i indeed would spend that money, my money, where it SHOULD be spent..on Bob and my family.
Isn't Bob your family?
Why can't YOU help him out?
Thanks, Suzianne, your comments are sometimes indeed helpful, as we conservatives bring along liberals who are confused.
@no1marauder saidAll of theabove posts ignore stats. Im not going to list them, and you are going to ignore the ‘record breaking’ happenings in the USA economy over the last 3 years (before Covid). You surely know Republicans would have won were it not for covid. Look at numbers, like increases in income , 7M jobs that losers and parasites avoided, tax reductions, deregulations which unleashed “Progress”! (Libs tend to rename progress as ‘progressivism “, as the ‘ism’ adds a bit of a comfy feeling to group -thinking, unstable libs. Every time I see that word I picture a huge Safetynet down underneath it. Creepy stuff.

Even the erudite marauder cannot bring himself to say that the last three years were pretty damn good. One has to be a bit suspect when not one word is uttered in the positive.
@no1marauder saidwhoopie doo dah day, eh?
All States require people on unemployment to show they are actively seeking employment. Failure to do so leads to a termination of benefits.
@kevcvs57 saidHere is how it is i the real world, Kev,,,
Lol that’s two an excellent real world scenarios directly referencing the supply and demand rule relating to labour.
When you need to hire to run your business, you HIRE,
You don't ever sit there contemplating how you can help the competition by sacrificing yourself.
Your view: "I must help global capitalism and not hire. Go out of business."
Ya. Logical.
@no1marauder saidAnd what is this as a result of, some new conspiracy theory???

If you want to butt into my conversation with Kev, at least know the F'n points.
Kev thinks that sometimes, when businesses may need to hire labor, they do lay offs for the better good of capitalism.
Do you agree with him???
Don't come into this with links, lecturing me unless you know what the fook you are talking about.
@no1marauder said"Small minority grab a 'large portion of the wealth'". You'd have to explain that one. What do you mean. Do you have one of those ideas that there is one big pie? Everyone splits one pie??? No,no no, Marauder. There are a LOT of pies, and thousands are being created as we all go back to enterprise. So the successful people are all into their pies....I myself am not in the pies you may be speaking of, and actually, i am planning on building another pie at the first of 2021.
Your BS propaganda is tedious.
The country only really flourished when it dumped the religion you believe in i.e. laissez faire capitalism and adopted progressive economic policies which spread wealth and income throughout the system. Your type of ideology led to the Great Depression and the many dysfunctional features of the American economy prior to the 20th Century. ...[text shortened]... ckward nations make). Your sycophantic vision is not sustainable either politically or economically.
As the rich have pies, what in the world does that have to do with you, and why study them? Bake a pie. Ask others to join you. Of course, I am speaking of the Now, .,......the new administration may start things off by bringing all pies together, call it one big pie, and split it up into equal parts. Being theoretical, of course, but Marauder, does that sound feasible? What happens to the folks who put more into that pie than others??
Oh, my my, what a quandary.
@averagejoe1 saidNo, Joe, but Republicans might have won if it weren't for narcissism, arrogance, dishonesty, racism, and monumental ignorance.
You surely know Republicans would have won were it not for covid.
@averagejoe1 saidRich people are getting richer by siphoning wealth from the poor enforced by government men with guns. They are not creating wealth. Workers create wealth.

@AThousandYoung - Rich people are getting richer by siphoning wealth from the poor enforced by government men with guns.
Yes and those Rich politicians love being the ones allowed guns, eh???
It makes the taking of income tax on the poor so much easier.
But silly Democrats think that their party is actually watching out for the poor.
@handyandy saidThere you go, Handy. I really don't think your aspersions are warranted (dishonest? Ignorance?). Trump did have a bit of arrogance (Obama?) and a bit off narcissism (Obama, again? If you were were first black president, narcissism would be a given don't you think? Hell, I would have been!! Give it a rest, you libs are a touchy bunch).
No, Joe, but Republicans might have won if it weren't for narcissism, arrogance, dishonesty, racism, and monumental ignorance.
Racism???? Clue in...it is culture. And it is culture Big Time! Have you seen the Streets!1?!?!?!? (Never been in a street. You been in a street, Handy?)
So, where was I....REPUBS WOULD HAVE WON, because of (sorry Suzianne, she hates money) Money!!!!!!!
@athousandyoung saidNews Flash!!!!!! You heard it here first from Av Joe. The workers Do Do Do create wealth !!!!! Not Bezos or Steve Jobs (who is DEAD while he creates wealth!!!) My granny is in her bed while she creates wealth because of risk-elly investing her life savings in Apple!!!!
Rich people are getting richer by siphoning wealth from the poor enforced by government men with guns. They are not creating wealth. Workers create wealth.
Sorry, a little late in the evening for such creativity. But it is a mind bender, isn't it.
@athousandyoung saidI have no idea what you mean. Please give straight facts, you libs venture into emotion a bit much, and frankly, it ruins the meat of posts. Workers ( I assume you mean assembly line at Amazon, et al?????) do not 'create wealth". If that were the case, then enlighten us................what does Jeff Bezos create, as all of his employees become wealthy????????????? You cannot answer this complicated 2-part question.
