BTW, I just got back from five weeks in Seattle. This is my second trip in ten months. We drive there from Kentucky and back. We like to take different riouts and enjoy difference scenery. And this time that also meant different mask requirements. It was very interesting seeing how the different states are responding now.

There are two kinds of people in public places now: Maskless, and faceless. I'm in the former group.

Then what's all this complaining about there being plenty of jobs, it's just that no one wants them? Here's your clue;

Nobody wants them because they SUCK.

If a job is so lousy that someone would prefer unemployment and one time stimulus payments over working for you, it's because the employment you offer is just about worthless. But "Conservatives are lovely people who never do anything wrong so, how could that possibly be?" Right?

Certainly there are people who's jobs went up in smoke because of the Covid recession ( how many who knows) who found other employment. If you found employment somewhere where they were glad to have you why go back to a situation you didn't like?
