Rent free and more freeeee hand outs. Yes millions living rent free all while Job openings SURGE!!!

This is the actual answer. We are witnessing the ACTUAL free market in action. Companies are dying to find workers and no one wants to go back to work. You could, of course, incentivize them by raising wages or offering really nice fringe benefits (fully remote) but no one seems willing to.

So, the free market will take its course and as always daddy government will come in to save the poor corporations. The people propping up the economy need more cash. It sounds likes $40,000 a year is the base wage people would be willing to back for (approximately the wage they earned doing nothing).

I can't understand why so many libertarians don't understand this. This is an ideal truly libertarian situation. We should be encouraging this, and allowing the strong the survive. My only gripe is the strong include people who can just weather the storm (walmart, etc) and the bread and butter of America will die off.

Raise wages, get more workers. Keep wages the same, get people who will either not work for you or actively undermine you. The math is simple. It's very clear the profiteers are upset they may actually have to pay people instead of leaning on welfare to make up the difference.

This is going on tech related to remote work. Except I think tech company CEOs are smarter. The vast majority are offering permanent remote positions. After people started demanding everyone shows up to the office the attrition rate skyrocketed. No one wants to play the stupid game. They made an entire movie about it (office space). If you want workers you bend your knee to them, and not the other way around. This is how the free market works. When you need labor you pay for it at the prevailing wage/benefit package.

How fun!

or the politicians will just force their will on the people to appease who owns them, I won't name which states are already doing so to avoid getting too political. Let's just say crony capitalism is what we end up with when they get distracted by non-issues

This is what I was alluding to with daddy government stepping in. The market isn't really free because there are many companies too big to fail. But, this is as close as we've gotten in a long time to seeing companies struggle with the idea that the people holding the economy by the balls are the laborers not the CEOs.

UK new law 10days ago, the banks can as always buy your property if you default, but they can also keep your property and rent it out, 1 Million houses at risk, you'll own nothing, rent everything and be happier LOL

And Single Jabbed people have a slight increase chance of Covid death and double Jabbed have a hugely higher risk of death, with more time / jab's the data suggests the risk will keep increasing until the jabbed will be so scared they'll never leave there homes again.

Socialism, Facism and Genocide the 2020's have them all, throw in wars soon no doubt and Famine sooner or later, yeah 2020's.

Okay, we get it. Some of you guys don’t like it when the little guy gets a “handout.” It makes you see red. But when large companies or the rich get handouts by way of tax loopholes or other fiscal candy, it’s business as usual; nothing to see here. The American way.

Apple pie, anyone?

S2007S likes to whine about everything when his trading ideas turn to shit. Such a pointless theory getting mad at other people for not wanting underpaid, shitty jobs. It's not like the safety net in the US even ranks compared to countries like Canada. Foreclosure rates, bankruptcy rates, poverty rates are all much higher in the US.

So this is what it comes down to. Millions and millions of people living rent free, and plans to extend the free rent continues and continues. And now those struggling to pay rent are going to get the chance to qualify for even more free money. Yes more free money all while jobs have become plentiful. The JOLT report from 2 weeks ago showed a RECORD GIGANTIC 9.3 MILLION job openings but hey it doesn't matter. Why work when you can live rent free. If That's the highest overhead that can be absorbed for free why would you want to work. So this is what this has become, a nation of free handouts and free money. And it looks like it may be here to stay. Just another way to artificially bump up the economy.

Why not? This is the ultimate scenario when everything is automated and 100% of the workforce are filled by robots. We will be just be living off handouts handed out by the government earned from the revenue generated by robots while betting on which group(s) of robots are more efficient in the financial markets. 90% of our economy is outsourced to the rest of the world. Think of all those workers that we outsource our jobs to as robots. We are just living the future today.

The handouts weren't rescue plans. It was vote buying. Several people I know who work in normal retail/office jobs got almost $50k last year for doing nothing. No value was created, nothing was made, they were just given a full year off work. If they wanted a rescue plan they could've issued BidenBonds and TrumpTokens to pay for exactly food, shelter, or healthcare. Nothing more, nothing less. The government could give cash equivalent to these tokens to the companies who receive them. Think of it like EBT/WIC but on a national scale.

This grinds my gears because I lost my job in March, got another in April and was back in business. I pay my taxes but because I make too much money according to the government I'm not entitled to any handout. Even a paultry $100 would've been appreciated. Instead, they just give me more taxes. Despite paying a shitload of tax my only benefit is more tax. The government doesn't look out for value producers. Why should they? You can't buy votes for people who don't ascribe much value to $1,200. Which, by the way is what this was.

The result of this is taxes are almost certainly going to go up and the "little guy" isn't going to be the one paying for it. Like all things, the middle class will bear the brunt of the tax increase. The little guy will keep getting his handouts, the big rich corporations will keep getting their hand outs, and guys like me will just be left paying taxes. There's a huge chasm in America where the middle class used to be and shit like this is the reason why.

You are 100% correct. But maybe it’s the message they want you to get: Either get poor or (try to) get rich, but don’t stay in the middle. And if you stay, you know exactly what is coming to you. That’s the reality, fair or not.

 

[Tradex]

Either get poor or (try to) get rich, but don’t stay in the middle.

My dear glai, soon we will only have two groups on this earth: the masters and the slaves, period.

And they won't even need a whip to control us.
