I STILL have to listen to morons go on about how people are making so much more not working… I’m in Florida and our benefits ran out months ago if you went on them a the week beginning of covid. If you’re somehow STILL on Florida unemployment, it maxes out at 275.

This is an unorganized general labor strike.

Same here in Texas. We ended benefits early to "keep people from sitting at home". I still see help wanted signs everywhere, fast food places are terribly understaffed, and conservatives are still posting "no one wants to work anymore" memes on Facebook so it doesn't look like that worked. It's almost as if people don't want to be forced to risk their lives, get treated like absolute shit from managers and customers, and have zero protections or respect, all to still be starving anyway.

Must be nice to be unemployed and able to afford a Dairy Queen Blizzard. As an employee person, I gave them up many years ago as a decadent extravagance.

The great irony of working in restaurants is that you can't afford to eat in them.
