Nice spam thread
 
this is just like the drug thing in Florida a few years ago. All this is gonna show is that most people arent living on government unemployment and that the actual problem is that nobody wants to work 40 hours a week for substandard pay.
Then Republicans will go 'well i guess the problem cant be solved' and call everyone a socialist.
 
So I was reading in the paper the other week how oregon employers are having a hard time filling positions. So I peruse Craigslist to see the offerings. I shit you not, wages have gone down. Jobs paying 15-17 a year ago are at 13-14 right now. Good luck getting people off unemployment when it pays 700 a week.

What job gave the salary now vs the salary last year? Oregon's minimum wage is higher than 13-14k if it's a full time job.
 
This is going to be hilarious. All these people spent a year being rewarded because Covid was a thing now being told the river has run dry.
