Diaper Joe and company keep bragging about low unemployment numbers, but I think that is mainly due to people not looking for work

I have seen examples of business after business not being able to find employees. My personal witness to this has endless examples.

My only conclusion is, the government is subsidizing them in some way that working folk have no knowledge of and the media will not report. And if Dims win in November, my suspicions will be confirmed.

I see young healthy adults who how have cars and rental houses and no body works in the household.

There are plenty of jobs that need to be filled, but maybe they feel that working is beneath them.

My only conclusion is, the government is subsidizing them in some way that working folk have no knowledge of and the media will not report.

Among other things, employers are afraid to dismiss substandard employees because of higher unemployment tax rates, difficulty finding replacements and the threat of lawsuits/political intimidation.

I can't help but think that these people somehow are getting some kind of compensation for their vote for you know who.

Why is it so hard to identify who these people are? Where are they? Do they just sit at home playing video games in the dark?
