The title of this thread should be Republican Governors Compete Against One Another to Hurt Struggling Workers. There is absolutely no evidence that this is a incentive for people to refuse jobs. A recent Fed paper found very little correlation
"A new working paper by two researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco suggests that expanded unemployment benefit payments have not created a strong disincentive for workers to return to jobs. Specifically, they also found that the current $300 weekly federal unemployment benefit, which is available to jobless workers through September 6, has had only a small effect on the job-finding rate."
Research shows $300 unemployment benefits are only a small factor in the current labor shortage: The real question for the 21 governors of Republican-led states who were so quick to cancel the $300 benefits is: What are you doing to address the other, more contributory factors to the labor shortage?

This is how Republicans run for President. They screw people who are struggling. Worth noting that the recipients are still required to look for jobs ans cannot refuse job offers or they will lose that benefit. These businesses are liars
Your definition of socialism is whatever you disagree with. There is nothing socialist about the extended benefits. There is nothing socialist about helping people. That was the standard line for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and every other program Republicans oppose. That is the standard Republican line for anything they disagree with. They cannot debate policy.
Between spending over a year screaming "the system is racist and nothing is your fault", to "stay at home or you'll kill yourself and everyone else with the worst disease known to man", to "were going to give you extended medical benefits, free money every couple weeks and stimulus checks" they have created a large part of the population not wanting to work menial jobs.
Companies aren't desperate for positions that pay 45k a year or more. It's the lower paying jobs they are desperate for because those are the people that don't really want to work and have little potential in life. They finally have a reason to not do anything like they really want, and have been encouraged to do so both through the media and financially.
At this point it's people hurting themselves by not working as it should be. Life isn't fair (hasn't been for as long as life existed on the planet) and if you want to get anywhere you have to work for it.
A restaraunt near me I've been going to for decades has a host that is a guy with no legs in a wheelchair, he has been there for 9 or 10 years and still there now. If he can work then so can others.
