• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

What is causing and what do you think are the long term effects of businesses not being able to find employees?

Student loan forgiveness.
This is precisely the wrong approach. This does not get people to work, it gets them to be professional students.

The fundamental problem is that people can get too much money doing nothing. It's hard for employers to compete with free government money. This free government money takes many different forms, but the simple truth is that people do not need to work and survive.

There are other Covid specific problems. Too many young and healthy people (for which Covid is a common cold) have irrational fears about their risk from Covid and are too scared to work. Employer vaccine mandates are another specific problem.

Whether or not Puddin forgives student loans Will have almost zero impact on employment.

People aren’t deciding two work or not work over there student loans. Litter Ali they just put them in forbearance and forget about them if they aren’t working.

If people are truly worried about getting people back two work (which is kind of silly because it devalues there own labor) then businesses need two pay Moore.

Yore spot on about vaccination requirements from businesses hurting employment numbers. I’ve said from the beginning it was terrible policy fore that reason especially when it cum two healthcare where gud staph are always tuff two find.

Yore spot on about fears of COVID two. Tons of people just don’t want to risk working inn it.
