But you neglected to respond to my post. I provided a bunch of primary sources proving that the democrats are communists who hate America. But you conveniently ignored my post.

I'm not bashful about reading, but there's being thorough... and then there's being too dense and typing past your target audience (or copying and pasting). It's like they wield their litany like a shield for their own intellect and a flaming sword to cut down their opposition -- surely, somewhere in the pile, there's stuff we can all agree on... any REASONABLE person. Right?
Tom Woods is excellent in slaying the covid hysteria here. Worth watching in full.

How do you know this is the case? Wage prices are not the only piece of the puzzle to infer technical demands of a job.
A 21% change ($400/month increase for a 40 hour work week) is not significant to you? Another $400 a month would be a significant change in my life. How much money do you make that $400/month is "not significantly different"?
The problem is that all of your solutions to these "problems" involve the Government. The same government that has done absolutely nothing correctly in the past 8 months. Yet you leftist fools still slobber over the prospect of government control of everything. The rest of us are tired of this childish idiocy.
That's how they are taught to respond.

I make a fraction of what I used to, because I wanted to be a professional strength coach, so I know what you mean.
That said, there are certainly jobs that people want to do, but choose not to because the pay is insufficient. Teaching is a good example.
I agree about the bellyaching business owners. They should have just raised their pay to attract better employees.
What happens when the labor margins go to 0 for the existing number of employees? They fire employees. We already saw this in parts of the country where they raised the minimum wage. That's why restaurant owners fired people in Seattle in 2019. Additionally, some of those restaurants just called it quits and stopped doing business. Is $0/hour better for their employees than what they were making?
So let's say they raise their wages. Now, EMTs are paid $22/hour and Home depot employees make $18/hour. And let's say every other market pressed for labor raises their wages. What happens to the purchasing power that you've just improved for minimum wage employees?
What countries have increased minimum wage with little to no effect on above-minimum wage labor prices?
People don't have to buy Apple or John Deere. Being able to fix my own possessions is an important value to me, so I generally don't buy products from companies that act like this.
