There are already so many homeless people in my college town it is frightening.

There is going to be an explosion of them when the evictions for non-payment of rent start.

The so called cliff is only a problem if there aren’t lots of available jobs out there for people.

The expanding economy has created a four lane bridge across the chasm. Nobody should fall off the cliff, so why are some acting like there is some sort of problem here?

This thing is getting out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.

My last job, before I retired, was assisting folks at the state job office.

All I can say now, is ‘winter is coming’!

I guess that is one nice thing about owning an electric car, no catalytic converter.

When given the choice between getting up in the morning, shaving, and going to work for 8 to 10 hours, then coming home exhausted, or just waking up in the afternoon and spending 8 to 10 hours eating, drinking beer and smoking pot and cigarettes, people are a lot like apes in that they will choose the option with least effort and the most pleasure.

Rule number one of politics...

You better think really hard before you hand out a bennie because you will pay the price of hell if you ever try to take it away.

There is a consequence for all the "now hiring" signs. Those businesses have been unable to properly service their customers. Many, myself included, have written off patronizing businesses that were favorites in the past. The consequences of the poor service is the "now hiring" signs are being replaced by buildings gutted of equipment and available for use by a new business. The layabouts who didn't come to work ensured their employers would go out of business. There isn't a job waiting when the federal largess ceases...just empty buildings.

I think this week's unemployment report mirrors the consequences. The largess is going or gone. Those seeking employment just discovered there isn't a place still operational where their skills are a good fit. Back on unemployment they go...this time at the reduced level.

Since this so-called pandemic started, I've been working my butt off. So I have not a lot of sympathy for those sitting at home collecting checks.

BTW, my company can't hire fast enough. Jobs are out there. Whenever I go out to eat at a restaurant, they are short staffed and the poor waitresses are being run ragged.

Everybody needs to get off their butts and go to work!

“Benefits Cliff”

You got to hand it to the other side - they’re great at slogans and bastardizing the language.

Watch for “Benefits Cliff” to become as dire and as ubiquitus as “climate emergency”.

All the people too lazy to get off their asses and get a job will be turned into victims - people pushed down the cliff by the “system”.

I’m done with restaurants. Went in one last Saturday, place was about half full. Was told the wait would be 30-35 minutes. I pointed to the empty tables. The uppity girl said they want to keep their staff happy.
Screw the customers, we want to keep the wait staff “happy”.
Enjoy unemployment.

Yup. From the Democrats, "here's a package that will rescue the unfortunate Americans who have fallen off the "Benefits Cliff".

Know what?

If I was out of a job right now I’d be out beating the bushes to find the best offer I could get before what should be a flood of job seekers crash the market for labor.

Duh?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Life is a bitch ain’t it?
