I don’t see it: The covid cash died out several months ago. The government is no longer paying people not to work. We are back to pre-covid, regular old unemployment benefits. You can’t even make rent and car payments on unemployment.
Minnesota has the highest unemployment compensation benefit in the country: To get the maximum payment, you need to have made $71k+ in the last 4 quarters. That will gross you $650/week (which you still have to pay taxes on).
Someone who was making $71k+ to get that much (ie., lifestyle based on usual salary of at least $1,500/week) can’t sit home and milk the unemployment of less than half of what he’s normally paid.
If you were some guy only making $35k, your unemployment benefit would hardly be worth collecting, at about $325/week.
And if it doesn’t pay to milk the unemployment in Minnesota, then it doesn’t pay to do it anywhere.
So this cannot be the explanation for millions missing from the workforce.
Anecdotally, as mentioned in previous threads, I know of half a dozen people who have died or been incapacitated from the Vax.
I'll start out by saying I have no direct knowledge of any of these things, but as I said, the unemployment may have dried up, but the cash payouts sure didn't. Now they're called other things, like stimulus payments, child tax credits, rent assistance, full utility bill payment assistance, moratorium on evictions, moratorium on repossessions, food assistance, and so on.
But yes, the 40% surplus deaths is really where the rubber meets the road. I would like a little more background on this astonishing claim (okay, not that astonishing given what's been going on, but objectively astonishing in itself).
I can hardly wait for the mortality statistics to come out for 2021. I am afraid to see the butcher's bill for these drugs.
