Another Unintended Consequence of Governmental Policy — 6 Comments

  1. This is old news.

    It also highlights the issue with the wages people earn compared to what is a good amount to be able to survive with essentials.

    At $15 an hour, people can still take home more money from the unemployment benefits rather than working the standard 40 hour week.

    Why has our government deemed $600 a week as valid but people who worked and made less than this were supposed to live off less than that pre-pandemic?

    We need jobs that create career opportunities and wage growth, not just a shift in a position to manager.

  2. This was a stress point for nursing homes in March and April.

    CNAs (already “in fear of their lives” were getting bombarded with recruiters promising (falsely, as it turns out) $3000 signing bonuses to work at McCormick Place…then of course the inducement of higher “wages” to NOT work.

    The only surprise is that extravagantly paid and pensioned government “experts” did not/do not have plans in place to deal with this thoroughly predictable scenario.

  3. Like our stupid forever wars for Israel, there are many unfortunate, unintended consequences for insane governmental policies, projects and scams.

    Obamagate, the breed and feed Welfare State, MKultra, the 9/11 + anthrax attack hoaxes, WMD in Iraq, etc., etc

  4. Yes the anthrax ‘attack’ was definitely a government hoax precipitated by “our’ own government to double down on the fear engendered by 9/11.

    All those killed and sickened and scared out of their wits were mere collateral damage for the Deep State program of power grabbing and control.
