The problem is not that the benefits were too high; the problem is that the wages are too low. washingtonpost.com/us-policy…

The problem is that the US economy has become financialized and de-industrialized by Wall Street criminals. Wall Street and the CIA are the same. This is what China is fighting against. It's what the CIA did to Russia in the 1990s. It's called looting.

We're seeing significant resistance coming from China which will not allow the Western bankers to come in and establish a speculative system to loot China as we in the United States have allowed them to do. Follow @HarleySchlanger for real solutions to our world in crisis.

Wages are deliberately undercut by the the Oligarchs by importing cheap goods and importing cheap labor.

Another problem is they have to choose. Give them both without consequence: a guaranteed income to supplement low wages and low hours.

What is the right number? In Nashville? In NYC? In Omaha? In SF?

Employers of tip-based employees should guarantee a base income.

That’s not the way the business and market works Marianne. You show your ignorance. Kill the market and you kill the job engine of this country.

The problem maybe that the labor shortage is not real.
Replying to @marwilliamson
They are not too low. Wages are already up to compete. Small businesses have had a year struggling to survive and you want them to pay higher wages right after the pandemic closures? This makes no sense. Most are even offering signing bonuses. People are lazier than you think.
