re: Honk: People are quitting their jobs at record rates. That's a good thing for the economy.

I don't actually see in this article where they explain how this is all "good for the economy".
That isn’t a joke, by the way.
That is more than likely the reason behind why they put that in the title, to protect the current ruling party that the writer supports.
Other examples include the recent references to inflation and how it is either “a good thing” or “not a thing if you correct for it”.
Same general thing was seen when Trump was president, but usually from the other direction.
Scruffy vaguely remembers an article during Trump’s tenure (although he can’t find it) where it was argued that lower gas prices were bad because it increased car wrecks and injuries.
Hell, that could have been a Babylon Bee article and Scruffy just can’t tell the difference anymore.
This is just the duplicitous and Pravda-esque nature of our current media.
As for the article’s title, no, there is nothing good about mass numbers of people quitting their jobs.

I was gonna post this but couldn’t be bothered. Pretty much nailed it.

This.
I live in Alexandria, VA, and the foodservice industry is really feeling it up here. The local bar I go to on the reg has had so many people quit over the last eight months. For a while, it was just the bar owner working behind the bar and waiting tables. He would leave the OPEN sign off even though he was open to keep customers at a minimum.
shite is bad right now because people don't want to work. They've gotten used to sitting at home and doing jack shite thanks to the lockdowns.

From a news information standpoint, the US of today might as well be Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, or Communist China. There is no independent major media left. All we have is progressive propaganda apparatuses masquerading as “news”.

Yeah, I’ve fallen for some satirical shite that would have been completely obvious to me 10 years ago, but now it’s hard to tell the difference. This country has lost its fricking mind.

Blacks attacking other races at alarming levels: why it’s a good thing, or Trump’s fault

I’ve always wondered why you refer to yourself in 3rd person. It makes me think of Elmo.

I feel like we are consistently on the same wavelength. You just nailed it. Our media is absolutely worthless.

Don’t dismiss the racial aspects of this story too. It’s a good thing that (black) people are quitting their jobs to get new, better ones or to start their own businesses... or they quit and are holding out for something better. Yeah... sure. What a crock of shite.

I'm a Trump supporter but I think there's a kernel of truth to that. If you really can't afford $3.50 per gallon or whatever, you're probably not someone I want driving around recreationally anyway. I don't want to share the beach or the movie theater with people like that.
