Covid payments make lazy people

Why work when they can stay home and get paid to sit. People are going to be addicted to government cheques in the mail....lots already are. I hired one guy to drive truck from the fields to the yard...$25/hr, paid for his hotel, dinner provided...quit after the first day. Others insisting on cash under the table because they're getting government money...when I said no can do, they walked away. Now with this election (Canada) coming up and all these politicians promising free shit....it's gonna get worse

That’s definitely a con. One of the pros is that it kept the economy ticking along.

@ButterRobot how so?....the labor force has been reduced to nearly zero...and the national debt is astronomical. Further down there's a thread talking about how restaurants gotta close early or only serve 1/2 the tables because of no staff...not good

@Mongoheadmonster well, here (aus) the cash kept business confidence level up. The economy actually grew. Might have been different there.
