Horrible take.

Explain to me how the Government giving out unemployment benefits is a free market?

It’s not a free market when the government mandates suffocating restrictions on businesses then pays people to stay home and allows them not to pay rent.

Are you 12? This is a terrible take.

They don’t want to work because government is rewarding them for not working. That has nothing to do with the free market.

That first take is just horrible and dumb

“Market forces” did not restrict the supply of workers, absurd UE benefits did. That’s not the Market, that’s the govt interfering

No, that’s really not how it works. For unskilled work, for instance, you can really only pay so much. There has to be a stop point, you can’t just keep going up on wages for unskilled work. And when you do go up, you have to raise prices for your goods or services in order to continue to meet your margins. Many small businesses don’t operate at some huge profit.

There’s still time to delete this before you confirm what most of us already thought about you.

Wow...what an absolute ignorant take.

It would be ok if I was losing employees to a competitor. I am losing out to endless government handouts that are creating lazy, entitled people.

That's a retarded take. The free market didn't affect their business. Government handouts affected the work place. The government handing out free money has nothing to do with the free market.

Honest question: Didn't Louisiana stop accepting increased federal unemployment benefits? I thought we were back down to our "among the lowest in the nation" benefits, or am I misremembering?

The responses on this thread are making me think I've missed something.

P.S. I don't think unemployment should exist at all, so don't come at me with that shite.
