Cutting off unemployment benefits early is not pushing people to find work, data suggests
  • Twenty-five states are ending federal unemployment benefits (including an extra $300 a week) ahead of their official expiration on Sept. 6. Their governors are trying to encourage recipients to look for jobs.
  • A dozen already did so over the past two weeks.
  • Yet job searches are muted in those states, according to an analysis from website Indeed.
It will definitely help.

Ohio announced in mid-May that they'd be stopping the payments at the end of June. I've had more applicants this past week than I've had in the last 6 months.

Reporting that it has had little impact is both premature and flat out wrong.

There's a huge shortage of lorry drivers over here. Some companies are asking the government to use the army to ship their produce across the country.

Is that Biden as well?

State university faculty, students to be surveyed on beliefs
In addition to the survey, the measure DeSantis signed into law will bar university and college officials from limiting speech that “may be uncomfortable, disagreeable or offensive,” and will allow students to record lectures without consent for educational purposes or to support a civil or criminal case against a higher education institution.

Republicans Want You (Not the Rich) to Pay for Infrastructure

Rather than the government financing the rebuilding of roads and bridges that get you across town, you pay a private company operating in contract with the government — while policymakers pretend that they have avoided imposing new costs.

Chief among these schemes that Republicans have identified are so-called user fees, like road tolls and a new fee on vehicle miles traveled. The White House rejected such proposals as violating its own tax pledge: a promise not to increase taxes on families earning under $400,000 annually. As President Biden observed, “If everything is paid for by a user fee, the burden falls on working-class folks, who are having trouble.”

I don't know what the fuck a lorry is, but if your gov't is handing out free money - yes, they could be to blame.

And Biden isn't to blame for what we have here in the States. It started when Trump was in there. Biden just needs to stop it. When you have some states denying free federal assistance for their constituents, it's pretty obvious that the Fed has over-reached and it's having a negative impact- regardless of what they say at their pressers.

In a few months we should see a clear picture of what works and what harms the economy with red states ending unemployment while blue continue it for a few more months. It’s like an experiment being played out in front of our eyes.

It's interesting. That's for sure.

I'm just glad to finally be getting applicants again. It's been a ROUGH year. But for the workers, they are looking at higher starting pay and $1000 signing bonus if they last 9 months. ($250 at 3rd month; $250 at 6th month; $500 at 9 months)

We've had to raise prices as we already operate at tight margins, but for the workers I guess you can count it as a win.

Unless they're moving away from a debt based economy we'll never see a clear picture. As it stands now they're basically going to keep giving out free money until they can figure out a magic bullet.

Kamala Harris put in charge of fixing the border.

3 months go by, she doesn't visit border

Trump announces he will visit the border

Kamala Harris announces she will visit the border a few days before Trump is planned to go there

Democrats in DC: Purely a coincidence. Her announcement has nothing to do with Trump. The time was just right.

Again - Do they really think we're this stupid? It's fucking insulting.
