Is there really a nation wide workers strike going on against low wage, late stage capitalism?

Biden was giving Americans who made under 75k a year <1,500 dollar stimulus checks every month and you get bonuses for every child and food stamps were doubled and tripled
People were staying at home and collecting checks because of the shutdown and continued to do this because why go to work when you can stay Home and get a check?
And then when it began to become a workers shortage many wouldn’t return to work on the basis that “places should pay more”
Democratic states continued paying people to stay home and republican states, like Florida, cut of unemployment benefits
Florida stopped facing a workers shortage probably a month after unemployment benefits were stripped
No there isn’t a worker shortage strike because wages aren’t enough. There is a worker shortage because president dumb fuck paid people to stay home for months while small businesses withered up and died and major businesses had to alter their hours and cut staff to save money as a result

@DeluxedEdition she hasn't worked in a year! A whole year of freedom. Aren't you enraged?

@Stopmakingsense of course. It’s unfair. Not to mention She has none of that money left to show because she spent it all on clothes and nails and going out instead of using it towards her bills like she should have

@DeluxedEdition that's why we don't have to worry about the USA becoming a democracy. Freedom is involved. Vacations, people on the dole -. Society without so much work. It's not coming to America! You're not ready.

@MarmeeMarch no house. No Amazon. Twice. The number of showers I took last year. Liar, much?

@MarmeeMarch oh you mean working people becoming independent of the system? Yes I definitely advocate for that.

@Eternity How about people not acting like a bunch of numbnuts when something breaks - or needs to be repaired ? But hey lets run to mail order stores and support child slavery in China.

@Stopmakingsense I apologize I didn’t mean to offend you with my swear word.
What country do you live in?
I don’t think you are lying. But I think your sources are lying

@empanadas the number doesn't account for the widespread quitting.
