Biden's silent shutdown: Businesses shutter amid vaccine mandates, extended COVID relief
Fox Business ^ | September 18, 2021 | Emma Colton

There’s a silent shutdown surge culminating across America following President Biden’s vaccine mandate on businesses coupled with staffing shortages after government shutdowns and enhanced federal unemployment benefits that only recently ended.

"Damn this pandemic and the situation we were put in. Business has been off considerably, but the hardest part being the inability to find staff to hire. Despite paying more than any restaurant I am aware of, no one wants to work," owner of Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Que, Boo McKinnon, wrote on Facebook last Saturday after she locked the doors of her Winter Park, Florida, restaurant location for the last time.

McKinnon is not alone. Other restaurants and businesses are now struggling to keep the doors open, with some citing hesitancy over vaccine requirements and owners simply unable to find workers after more than a year of unemployment benefits from the federal government.

"Certainly, it’s exacerbating the situation," Philippe Massoud, owner and chef at Ilili and Ilili Box in New York City, said of workers leaving their jobs last month due to a vaccine mandate. "We hope they’ll change their mind down the line. … In addition to all that you’re dealing with the surge of the delta variant, which also creates its own complexity. So, we’re getting hit a bit from everywhere."

The threat of vaccine mandates hampering the ability of restaurants to hire has been simmering for months now, with restaurant owners warning in August that encouraging vaccines instead of enforcing them could help keep workers in their jobs.

“no one wants to work”

Maybe everyone likes to breathe freely.

First off...does this person employ more than 100 people? If not, then the only reason is the unemployment? DeSantis stopped the extra unemployment payments didn’t he? If so, there should be people needing work.

Nobody needs a “Religious Exemption” concerning these Killer Clot Shots

It’s really simple.

IT’S A HUMAN RIGHT TO REFUSE A MEDICAL TREATMENT!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody can be consistent with human rights, and force a medical treatment on somebody that doesn’t want it!!!!

BTW, Biden is asking for $80 billion tax dollars to enable the IRS to monitor bank accounts to find out what everyone was doing with their money:

<><>How much are they spending?
<><>What are they buying?
<><>Who are they paying?
<><>Where does their money come from?

I’m ok with this......as long as the Biden family goes first.

Does anyone still think the income tax limit is $400K? He lies about everything, it will soon be 50K.

10,000 illegal immigrants wait under a Texas bridge, 10,000 more are on the way, as the border crisis escalates.

Biden turned a blind eye and escaped to Delaware for the weekend.........where he and the Biden Crime Family continue to loot Biden’s trillion dollar tax heist bills.

So where is Democrat Delaware Cong Lisa Rochester......?

The world 🌎🌍 is changing at a rate that is astonishing.

This is not the Mark of the Beast (you didn’t say it was; just for the thread)

But this how the world will get there.

Many don’t want the still experimental death shots just for a job that would just as soon fire them when they aren’t needed anymore

Florida stopped the extra Fed money in May of this year it’s September. Florida unemployment max benefit is $275 per week second lowest in the nation. It’s not due to free money.
