Best Comment on an article about Senator Mitch McConnell "It's true that stimulus money is keeping people at home. Ever since I got those $1,400, I bought a car, a house, a boat, a vacation home in Cancun next to Ted Cruz's mansion, and I got plans for a private jet. I've been living the good life. I placed the remainder of those $1,400 in a savings account and I'm living off the interest that it earns. I have no plans to go back to work." ~ S What McConnell is quoted as saying:

"You've got a whole lot of people sitting on the sidelines because, frankly, they're flush for the moment, What we've got to hope is once they run out of money, they'll start concluding it's better to work than not to work." ~ Mitch McConnell 

How 'bout the million+ people who have died due to COVID? Dead people are highly unlikely to be seeking jobs.  Why do people elect such ~ what can I say except ~ dumb people to become our nation's lawmakers and leaders?! 

A granddaughter took a gap year away from college. She decided to also take off from working because she has been working since she was 14. I think she was 15 when she started a summer job at a seasonal Italian Ice shop. She did put in a lot of effort in high school band and jazz band. Point is, there may be many other students like her, that, after COVID just wanted some time off from jobs. 

Her father used to hold several part time jobs ~ likes to keep busy. Carpal tunnel surgeries, knee injuries and more surgeries have kept him from his regular job. If not for that, he would like to fill one of those empty part time positions. 

Many reasons people are not filling those jobs ~ especially the ones that do not pay enough or give enough hours to make taking them worthwhile.
