I watched that too! Can’t wait to see it.The last segment of 60 Minutes was the best one.
The scary part is it's only just begun.That is what happens when you pay people to stay home and prevent others from working because they do not want to inject poison into their body. The number of incompetent morons in this administration is staggering.
What I can't figure out is the labor issue . . . don't folks need to eat and pay rent?
Yeah we have openings for engineering positions that we are filling with interns because we can't find decent engineers. Before COVID we had 5-7 applicants for every position . . . now we have 2-3 positions for every applicant. It's like the Rapture occurred and no-one noticed or something.Yeah, that one confuses me too.
I get that a lot in the service industry might have used the time to improve themselves and get better jobs, but all the people I know that were connected to the hospitality industry used the time to smoke weed and watch Netflix.
The problem with the above, is that every single person I know who works in an office, can't find people to work either. GF works at a university, and they have tons of open jobs. Even senior positions, where people left to go make crazy money in senior positions at assorted companies.
I get why they call it "The Great Reshuffle", but people used to compete to get into a lot of these jobs, and suddenly aren't. It's weird.

What sort of engineering?Yeah we have openings for engineering positions that we are filling with interns because we can't find decent engineers. Before COVID we had 5-7 applicants for every position . . . now we have 2-3 positions for every applicant. It's like the Rapture occurred and no-one noticed or something.
The labor shortage is another conversation. People coming out of a crisis are taking a serious look at their lives, and choosing a different path.
I take your point, and it's a good one, but I would say the answer to this is "yes". Grocery prices are skyrocketing and store shelves are relatively empty. When prices go up that much, many people go hungry. In grocery stores I've been to this year, you frequently see a technique employed where empty spaces on shelves are filled with lesser brands or unpopular products.Edit: I did not finish this thought. Are we struggling to eat? Pump gas? Basic every day existence stuff? NO!

Gasoline prices are shooting up rapidly this year. For a lot of people, the price of driving to work is becoming quite painful.
Unions on the West coast won’t work more than a 40 hr wk. That’s for the entire port.
. . .
It’s not just the Port of LA on the West Coast brother… I overlook one of the major shipping channels in the northwest.There's only one noun that matters in that sentence you want to understand the intentional inefficiency, bloated cronyism, and lack of individual motivation for excellence in the LA port system. And it's not west, coast, 40 hour, week, or port.
