Some people will believe anything their tv tells them.

I'm not a Nixon fan but didn't he once say that the American people won't believe anything unless its on their Tv.

They do. But co sidering 30,000,000 are out of work and 90,000,000 are not even in the labor force, lol, and they count someone working an hour a day as employed shows that shit is bad. Really bad.

But hey, let's bailout the banks and multi-national corporations to the tune of hundreds of billions so that they can let go of more workers!

And use these billions for share buybacks, which sends stock prices in an upward spiral.

I'm completely self employed. Just in 2020 i did start denying them their ability to enslave me completely.

It is my lifetime. Not theirs to use as it never should have been. They even only try to steal your ideas and take all the creds for it when you are an employee.

Wake up.

How about nuking all of the good jobs that people already had disincentivizes people to go back to work? And I keep getting interviews with the most degenerate workplaces/managers because most of the businesses hiring now couldn't keep people even during the worst economic downtown in decades due to hostile work environments or horrendous managing, and I'm likely going to get stuck at one because sooner or later they will say yes to me and I can't say no thanks to how unemployment works. I'm sure other people also know this is the case and are hoping their states are still just ignoring the work requirements to stay on UI. They aren't looking to avoid a horrible workplace, horrible coworkers, and a horrible boss. Because that's what has been left to us all.
