[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7524833, member: 105098"]And I'd like to add, which might not go over so well with some folks, that IF you think most folks would rather collect the juicy unemployment check rather than work, and that's what's going on, then this is likely coming from a place inside of you that YOU would do that, and think everyone else would too. I think for the most part, people at this point, a year into the pandemic are wondering if the money their job gives them is worth their time and efforts especially considering the new risk involved. There's quite a few people kicked to the curb from their jobs and can't pay their rent and just waiting for the moratorium of evictions to end to be evicted and sued for the back rent they owe, there ain't no "catching up" for some people, they are going to be sued for back rent and will have to file bankruptcies, so their worlds are crumbling in slow motion around them and they know it. I'm not in that position, I'm "one of the lucky ones" or so I'm told... I spent a year struggling to make ends meet, ya know "times are tough, gotta tighten that belt or I'll have to lay people off".... while my boss remodeled his 3 million dollar house and bought another new Porsche because the 2019 GT3 wasn't doing it for him anymore. I've counted my blessings, but I've also counted my curses. there's absolutely some bitterness for a lot of folks who got kicked to the side so others could save themselves, not even skipping a beat to their lifestyle, and those same people, like my boss, that maintained his high life lifestyle this whole time as I stressed over paying my bills, are now the ones saying "productivity isn't what it used to be, all this covid money made workers lazy we need to cut them off!"...... it's sickening to me. I don't need people like this in my life. It's bad juju.[/QUOTE]
