NPR is despondent over this.
They say there is no evidence that extended benefits are leading people to not return to work. On the contrary, the reason is that people are still rightly concerned about COVID.
Their reporter said so and they interviewed a Democrat who said the same thing so you know it’s got to be true.

To be fair, that’s absolutely probably true if you ignore all the evidence and refuse to acknowledge facts or do your own research and instead just make shite up out your own arse.

States are laboratories of democracy. Whether this strategy works, or it doesn’t, we will all learn from it. There are too many people, though, rooting for these states to fail. That should tell you something.

Good. There are help wanted signs all over the place and businesses are having to cut hours.

Hunger is a hell of a motivator... Let's cut all the government assistance off and see how many go back to work...

Rooting is irrelevant. These states have been a failure for as long as most people on this site have been alive.

True. Except for Montana and South Carolina.

I live in MS and I can tell you, the VAST MAJORITY of people here are in favor of this action (cutting this program and getting people back to work)!!!

Southern red states have a window of opportunity to really flourish and grow economically by encouraging companies to move here out of the blue states who still think Covid is a problem

My wife & I both work in staffing and see the effects daily. I talk to clients all day who are mad that there are no applicants and when asked what they can do... the only answer is to raise their wages well past unemployment. If the wage is under $16, there’s no shot at getting that position filled currently. This is coming from 2 years ago when we were getting 200+ applications a day, now it’s in the single digits.
It’s believed that this is the Dems “forcing” the $15/hr minimum wage on all of us. If businesses can’t pay above the unemployment rate (that they want to make permanent), they risk having no employees. I am so glad some states are rejecting the supplemental amount. I guarantee manufacturing companies will be moving to those areas if this continues.
They aren’t just “out of touch with reality” like you’d want to believe. This is a deliberate way to cripple the middle class.

Small business owners across the state are struggling to fill job openings. So happy this is finally happening
