Job openings now hit record high of over 8 million yet we are paying people to stay home and sit on their ass

So you expect a profitable business to lose profits when they can raise prices to maintain profitability? Sounds like a Wal-Mart situation, where a major player is keeping prices down. Of course, we can't have that either.

Raising prices isn’t always an option. Market forces say that prices should always optimize themselves based on demand. If a business can raise prices without affecting demand, they should do so regardless of labor costs.

In this case, we have Wal-Mart that sets the bottom price for most goods. Unless a business has a differentiating factor like superior customer service or higher quality goods, they can't go much higher than Wal-Mart, which means labor costs can't rise very far.

Higher quality goods than Walmart? How is they possible?

Labor costs eat into profits. How much do you think that steak really costs?

Possible? Try highly likely. One way Wal-Mart offers the lowest price is by buying only the absolute cheapest (read crappies) goods they can. As for how much a steak costs, what are you talking about, the one you get from Wal-Mart or the one from the boutique steak house? Because they are actually different steaks.

Walmart made $15 billion profit last year.

yep....folks weren't scared to go shopping at wal-mart last year. They also benefitted from the fact lib Govs wouldn't let small business restaurants to open...so folks were forced to shop at the big box stores.

Desantis is NOT a Liberal.

didn’t say he was Cuomo is

Of course you said that. You said, "lib Govs wouldn't let small business restaurants to open..." Desantis did that.

He's not a Liberal.

wrong he opened FL up.

LOL

How did he open it if he didn't first shut it down??

You must think someone forged his signature because here's his Executive Order shutting down and restricting non-essential businesses in the sate of Florida.

​

WHEREAS, on March 16, 2020, President Donald J. Trump and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") issued the "15 Days to Slow the Spread" guidance advising individuals to adopt far-reaching social distancing measures, such as avoiding gatherings of more than 10 people, and in states with evidence of community spread, recommending restrictions to certain establishments conducive to mass gatherings and congregations;​

​

B. In concert with the efforts of President Trump and the White House Corona virus Task Force to fight COVID-19, and based on guidance provided by Florida Surgeon General and State Health Officer, Dr. Scott Rivkees, all persons in Florida shall limit their movements and personal interactions outside of their home to only those necessary to obtain or provide essential services or conduct essential activities.​

Of course he shut it down for a short period of time, then left it up to localities.

You are comparing a short time frame, to the massive long unnecessary, shut downs by NY, Cali etc that ignored the science.

Come on MAN....geez...

You will go to any lengths to ignore reality, deflect and defend you leftist Dear Leaders

Poor, baby, you got caught lying again. Happens a lot with you.

You denied he shut it down before admitting he did.

Are you trying to suggest that Fl did what NY and Cali etc did? Are you really trying to compare the two? hahahahha

 

[Desperado]

Job openings popped to a record high in March as employers struggled to find workers to fill those positions, the Labor Department reported Tuesday

Pay them more. Problem solved.

And how much do you think a high school burger flipper is worth?

Desantis didn't fully reopen the state until the end of September...

As far as NY, they got hit significantly harder than Florida early on. So why would you expect their responses would be the same?

Y’all seem to think low skill manufacturing jobs should be well paid, why not flipping burgers?

So you think that a high school student working at McDonalds who says you want fries with that, deserves $15 an hour?

 

[Care4all]

And this is the Dimocrat plan. Create an ARTIFICIAL labor shortage, and force employers to pay much higher wages.

Oh no! What are we going to do now that people are making more money?

We'll all be paying more for all goods and services, that's what we are "going to do now".

We pay for it, either way....

A living wage by employers paying more in wages... causing slight inflation

OR

our tax dollars in welfare type credits, food stamps, housing etc...because their employer pays them poverty wages and we have to fund the rest....

You think a high school drop out squeezing together plastic window frames in a factory is worth $30 an hour?

True but they are also replacing employees and replacing them with kiosks

 

[August West]

Don't worry, Bidens new workforce is coming across the border to replace them

I like them a lot more than I like you and the rest of Trump`s traitors. Unlike your friends, they want to work. You and your friends are what we used to call Bums.

Most of the Defendants Charged in Capitol Riots Had a History of Financial Difficulty

While some of the defendants found themselves climbing out of financial turmoil, many of them once stood at the center of difficulty, facing a debt repayment of just a few thousand dollars roughly ten years ago to unpaid tax bills of nearly $400,000 or the threat of losing their homes.
