It had nothing to do with a living wage which, again, has not been implemented nationwide.
He wasn't talking about raising the statutory minimum wage, which is why he put that term in quotes. Maybe he should have spelled it out more clearly instead of using a loaded political phrase, even if putting it in quotes.
But he was talking about the Fed printing trillions of dollars in funny money and handing it out to businesses, employees and the unemployed labor pool to "get them through the pandemic" - ie, sit at home and stream Netflix instead of going to work to fulfill their role in the stream of commerce.
This was obviously going to effect supply lines, which impacts downstream pricing. Simple economics.

Democrats think having simultaneous high unemployment, high underemployment, unprecedented UE benefits, and labor shortages are signs of success.
They also think these owners should raffle off a yacht or two to keep the prices stable

The brainless Liberals think this is all a good thing.
Two extremely simple words to describe these idiots: Mentally ill. That's it. That simple.

I am saying if your restaurant needs to employ slave labor practices and rely on your customers to decide and contribute on income gaps, then your business model is outdated. There just may not be a niche for $15 deli sandwiches or really cheap hamburgers.

is it really a labor shortage if people just refuse to work?

Yep. Republicans will never hold a majority again. Part of it is their own fault moving away from their core values, but most of it is the now acceptable fraud.

Disgusting Capitalists taking advantage of a catastrophic pandemic to make an extra buck. Disgusting. Boo hoo you had to pay labor a living wage to get them to come work for you. Now they’ll have to downsize their beach home and fishing boat lmao
This is why we need a centrally planned economy.
