whats causing labor shortage after covid lockdown? unemployment checks can buy you some time but not a living expense so i dont think thats it..and ppl are finding new ways to be self employed and earning more than their previous shitty minimum wage so they have more time to spend w/ their families. i quit my job in july bc i got fed up with the owner and tried uber eats (some youtuber made $8,000 in one month). when that didnt work out i got a job at amazon prime warehouse while i applied for other jobs. 5 out of 7 companies i applied for responded me back for interviews. if this was 2 years ago i dont think i would get this many opportunities. either that or ppl have lost willing to work. in houston they fired hundreds of nurses bc they refused to get vaccinated, and then a week later hospitals declare nurse shortage and blamed it on increased delta patients wtf.

how can he recover from this? he cant..15k+ americans trapped in kabul and all he can say is everyone around him appoved his decision. desperate ppl falling off from that plane became his legacy. make a decision, joe. get our citizens out of there. this quote from west wing stuck in my mind for almost 2 decades. each passing year, US is becoming less and less of what it use to be. “Did you know that two thousand years ago a Roman citizen could walk across the face of the known world free of the fear of molestation? He could walk across the Earth unharmed, cloaked only in the protection of the words civis Romanus -- I am a Roman citizen. So great was the retribution of Rome, universally understood as certain, should any harm befall even one of its citizens.”
