I know someone who found herself unemployed and when I asked how the job search was going she told me she'd done the calculation and the family could continue on for a few more months before they ran out of money and she'd have to get a job. Planning for the future... not their problem.

The work ethic has been destroyed by clueless liberals; the shame of welfare has vanished; the lack of pride is astonishing.
 
Labor shortages hurting multiple parts of supply chain

The lack of port workers and truck and package delivery drivers is holding up shipments of products to retailers and consumers, with manufacturers such as Nike also experiencing supply chain disruptions from shutdowns of factories in Vietnam. The problems could be addressed by wider adoption of automation, artificial intelligence tools and real-time visibility, industry experts say.

11 million jobs available and the democrats/Marxists are trying to ram through $5 trillion in socialism ---- your republic is on the brink.

It will end up being about 3T over 10 years. Likely not quite as much as Trump rammed trough just last year alone.

Plus we could bring in some hardworking immigrants to make up for the incels content living in Mom's basement.
 
Weekly jobless claims up to 362,000, despite 11 million open jobs available.


The socialists are winning right now, and if it continues look for a calamitous economic meltdown.

With unemployment benefits cut off in many states, Americans returned to work, right?

States that ended a federal boost to jobless benefits early saw virtually the same drop in unemployment as states that kept the extra assistance.

With unemployment benefits cut off in many states, Americans returned to work. Right?​


"States that ended a federal boost to jobless benefits early experienced virtually the same drop in unemployment this summer as states that maintained the extra assistance, according to a new analysis.

From June to August, the jobless rate in states that cut off a weekly $300 federal supplement to state unemployment benefits dipped by 0.25%, compared with a 0.26% drop in states that continued the benefit, according to an analysis of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics by the Century Foundation, a progressive think tank."
 
Why go to work when you have multiple stimulus checks money, expanded unemployment money, child welfare handouts, free utilities and rent moratorium money all still socked in your bank account. Until it all runs out, look for the disaster to roll on.

Welfare on steroids.
 
I don't know how many of you have been following the problems at our docks but there are ships sitting outside every major port in the US on the east and west coast. The reason?!?!? Yep you guessed it, they can't get enough workers in the shipyards to unload the ships.

This was back in July just outside Long Beach Harbor. Just about all of those silhouettes are freighters waiting to be called in and to be unloaded and if you can zoom in you see more even further out.

Couple of thoughts on this:

- if you cut off the benefits and folks still don't return to work, then maybe they no longer need those benefits, and the taxpayers shouldn't be footing the bill for anything above the pre-Covid unemployment insurance at this point.

- It's possible the still-unemployed folks don't want to demean themselves by taking an available warehouse job and start right away because that's not fulfilling, and they're hoping against hope something better will come down the pike, or Covid unemployment/guaranteed income will be extended by the avuncular Pres. Biden. But let's say neither happen, and then the hammer comes down - eviction notices, utilities cut off, bank accounts garnished, etc. When the pain of not working exceeds that of working, will that finally drive them to report for duty?

We will see.

You should start a Topic. This is a big problem and it's going to get worse.
 
Apparently there are over 70 ships now sitting outside Long Beach. Back in July it was only around 45. Joe really has f’d the US economy in less than a year.

I'm involved in some importations. This time period reminds me of the beginning of Covid. Politicians were busy with impeachment. No, blinded by impeachment. Then Covid took over.

Politicians are asleep at the wheel. This supply problem is catastrophic to our economy. Imo

There are a million stories in the Naked City....

Americans paid off nearly $100B in consumer debt just in 2020 and those debts just recently started to rise again. Perhaps a spouse/partner no longer has to work to pay debts.

Or one of them is staying home to school the kids.

Or one or both decided to retire early.

One of my clients stopped production for two weeks because of the logjam in LA.

It's all part of the plan. We're being set up for the government to take over everything. It's exactly what the globalist want.

When you get like this, do you lock yourself in the bedroom, shut the shades, and turn off all the lights or is there a pill you can take?
 
There are over twice the number of ships to be unloaded at ports than the ports are capable of handling. Some of those ships take 8,000 trucks. Those ships take a full day to unload and some take 3 full days. Then, they typically get loaded for another destination. They also have scheduled times that if a ship misses, it screws the entire operation.

What is the answer to the problem? It's now 35k for a shipping container. That cost was 7k pre pandemic. Who do you think pays for that? That's just one small example of supply issues facing this Country. Those ships have been a problem since the Pandemic. Eventually this problem will bleed over into essential items. Then what?
 
Am I the only one that finds it strange we have a shortage of truck drivers, a job that pays much more than minimum wage and does not take a college degree to do. If fact a lot of truck drivers make a lot more than many of those degree carrying people do. Most school teachers could only dream of making what a truck driver makes in a year.

Recruiters need to reach out to inner cities. What a beautiful opportunity for women and men of color. Amazon is doing it and paying $15 an hour. Imagine $30 to start.

You can't handle reality. When there are 11 million jobs open and more than 11 million people are still sitting on their arse at home because the government is outbidding the private sector, the crash is inevitable. Add to that the supply chain crisis and the perfect storm is brewing. The sh__! is about to hit the fan.

It can’t be overlooked that some people have certainly been laid off by “friendly” middle managers to escape the unnecessary over reach of shot mandates, or laid off because of the expense of compliance with similar public health orders.
