Then there is the real world that some products and services won’t sell at higher prices and do not support higher wages. And in the real world there are many native born workers who act just like this.

BS. The you don't believe in the basic theory of supply and demand. You are being an idiot.

Sometimes I think this country deserves what is coming to it.

It's been a long time coming... and it's going to be a bigger KICK in the A$$ than anyone expected or realized!

The woman who heads the Maine Department of Labor said just that....if employees refuse to return to work they will lose their unemployment benefits.

>>>Obama care passed in ‘09 right after his coronation. The nation wide lay-offs started then.

Fake news. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or colloquially known as Obamacare, is a United States federal statute enacted by the 111th United States Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010.

Weigh in with one of your crackpot theories as to how supply and demand means wages can be raised to any level.

If I hire a telemarketer to replace a bookkeeper I have the same headcount. If I hire someone to upgrade my computers and have one less office worker I have the same headcount, if I hire a marketing person to prepare a marketing plan to replace an accountant I have the same headcount.

Obama went on TV and gave it his name and owned it.

Do NOT give any of your Roll Blue crap.

M Piss Losley said in '09 that we had to pass it to see what was in it.

Go away ROLCON Troll.

I think they go 39 weeks which would be more like October/November.

If 3 business offer a service but can’t make a profit using US labor then one goes out of business. Then the other 2 can supply the service using US labor. Get it. Or are you still befuddled?

But the loans are forgivable, so they will forgive her.

I think the poster was referring to the expanded UE, that has a $600/ wk kicker.

Only under specific circumstances as it relates to wages, rent/lease utilities.

WOW!!!

So if someone was getting paid 500 a week (these aren’t top line jobs, many of them) then they are getting 850 a week now.

I’d HATE my boss if he kept me on the payroll at a job like that :)

And especially if it’s a job and not a career.

So much waste in that bill.

Re:14 - Agreed, 100%.

This is really a study in character. Please use it to determine who your topline employees are - and do what you can to retain them.

I could understand if people were afraid to return because of COVID-19. But it sounds though, as more and more of these sorts of stories come out, that some people are just gaming the system.

I know facts are hard but Google is easy. Pelosi made that statement when she was speaking at the National Association of Counties’ annual Legislative Conference on 9 March 2010.
