Vote buying does have a limit.

 WHEN VOTE BUYING OUT PAYS THE FREE MARKET, BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN

ARE WE NOW IN NEED OF MORE GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION?


Last weeks anemic April jobs report, which came in at only 25% of the expected number of new jobs, has created an awakening for some as to the true picture of the U.S. jobs market. If they would have been listening to employers, they would have known all about this. Employers have been sounding the alarm since shortly after the last stimulus package, which extended the moratorium on rent, extended extra unemployment benefits and sent out checks to everyone. 

These extensions have been extended to September, will this lack of workers be a problem until fall?

There are millions of jobs available but "necessity is truly the mother of invention" as is going to work.

There are some who like to work, will always be looking for things to do, looking to find better ways to do things. Then there are some, and I fear a growing number, who would happily let their life go by, watching youtube,  communicating with friends on facebook and generally accomplishing nothing of value for their whole life.

The former often become successful, and then become the object of envy because they have more than the latter. It is because they embrace work as a fact of life and the latter attempt to escape it whenever possible.

All this, in a true market economy, becomes tempered by the old necessity thing. Idleness has never paid well, until we have the vote buying schemes of the purveyors of Socialism. Vote for us and we can suspend gravity if necessary to make you life easier and we will take from those idiot work lovers to keep you dependent on our good will.

History has proven, when the numbers of the work-lovers become less than the work escapers it all comes crashing down. 

It will be interesting if the socialists will be able to juggle the work environment they created until the 2022 election. They may have peaked way too early. Then again, maybe they can come up with another government program to carry them until the next election.
