I think that is a fair assessment that will become increasingly clear as the months go by and the stomachs start to growl.

I agree. A lot of people want to see it happen just to “own the libs.”

This is, at the core, probably the most disturbing trend in politics at the moment. Instead of taking a "I'll compromise so that the nation gets the best deal for everyone," we get "I would rather see the nation die than compromise."

Is Trump going to get the blame here?

I have never seen so many help wanted signs on businesses as a I do now. We need to cut off the long term unemployed and tell them to get a job. They will when sitting on their butts and getting paid for it goes away.

Except Biden is the reason why the economy will not recover. By constantly giving handouts and promoting doom and gloom about the virus and no clarity on when a schools can reopen and other restrictions end, what do you expect?

Well, who can blame anyone? Why go to work for LESS PAY just to make some corporate execs even more rich? Makes no sense to do that when you can be paid more for sitting at home

We have more than 3 years left for Biden to run us into the ground. He's just getting started.

Y'all cheated him into office so enjoy it. Hide your cash under your mattress and good luck with everything else.

There is no way that the GOP doesn't take the house and senate in 2022. People are sick of Biden and when I say Biden, I mean the people that are telling him what to do.

I actually agree with you. We are on the same path as Venezuela. When full scale Communism is implemented, Mexico might finish Trump's Wall to keep out the Americans and I wouldn't blame them.

Who is predicting doom and gloom. I' hearing positive messages.

More jobs could have been added in April but we will know better at the end of May and June what is going on.

I know here in Charleston SC there is a shortage of employees but restaurant and hospitality have been complaining about that for 7 years.

Article from 2014 Post and Courier
Even allowing for the seasonal nature of Charleston’s hospitality economy, the numbers are a stark measure of the formidable staffing obstacles now faced by local restaurants. And with 50 new restaurants opening in 2014, the problem is daily becoming more acute.

https://www.postandcourier.com/food/...789f5a6c3.html

(note --- the article will probably be behind a paywall -- dang newspapers they don't want to hand out their stuff for free -- you would think they need ot make money or something).

That was 7 years ago that article. Before the pandemic Charleston did not see a slow down in growth in the food & Beverage/hospitality industry. More restaurants, more breweries, more hotels were added and the shortages became more acute.

Now with a rush on staff for these facilities we are reminded of how acute that shortage was.

If you blame Biden -- you are giving him some godly powers.

It seems the doom and gloom the conservatives are feeling is because the economy is recovering and the supply of employees, materials for building, gas.....etc...can't meet the demand. It will take time to rev up again.

Mmm, we're still in a pandemic and people are being cautious. Is it a disaster? No.
