I see numerous "We're Hiring" signs on display, whenever I go out. Last night, we went to Jack-In-The-Box and they have a big sign opposite the order counter. It mentions that they pay $10/hr for regular workers and $12/hr for "team leaders." There are application forms on the table next to the sign.
This is something I don't ever recall having seen in the past.

The inability to find willing workers is not anecdotal. I’ve been told by at least four different business owners (one was yesterday) that this is the case. And it seems to be widely know the reason for this: Welfare (under whatever name).

We're Hiring This is not isolated to any area but is country wide. Somehow the silver alert in the WH doesn't understand supply and demand economics. Every restaurant here, from fine dining to the local taco shop have now hiring signs out. Yet, unemployment remains high and wages, after some initial push, are stable. The only logical conclusion is that people who now view themselves as above actually getting their hands dirty are remaining out of the workforce because they have income coming from DC. This will not end well.

You wouldn’t believe the amount of emails and mail I get from the State of Washington telling me about all the free-money I can get (usually loans and such). Worse, when talking about the state of business with the odd person or two, some would say, “Well, you can get money from the state.” I tell them, “I don’t want the state's hooks into me. And there’s no such thing as free money. That money is coming out of someone else’s pocket or else it’s borrowed.”
To the animal (I won’t call them patriots), it doesn’t occur to them that there is any other relationship between the person and the state other than handout-er and handout-ee.
And, believe me, most of the people I talk with are not your typical liberal flake. That’s what’s scary. These Communists have run the infection deep. Almost everyone thinks like this now.

Oh my god. How wonderfully corny. Do you suppose Cliff Richard has ants in his pants?
It’s the thought that counts, of course. But what a thought. I thank you anyway.

This is the song they play at the Registrar of Weddings/Marriages in Singapore. At least they did when my wife and I got married, some thirty-six years ago.

The Progressive faith runs into the Islamic faith. If the Muslims monsters started gang raping her, I think she would still be making excuses for them.

It seems Russians still have a grip on reality. This man was released from prison after receiving support from his fellow citizens. What did he do? He killed his "friend" who had been molesting his eight-year-old daughter. I must say, I believe I would do something similar to anyone who molested my young daughter (if I had one.)
