I don't disagree with the premise, if it is both sides saying that with humility.  But that will never happen, so where's the door?

There is not both sides. Don’t forget filling in skate parks and arresting people for paddle boarding. There should be a reckoning of these idiots.

People forget how overcrowded the hospitals were and how far people had to travel to get treatment before the vaccines came out. Of course there's both sides lol. Both have selective amnesia. 

Most of the hospitals that stated they were at capacity were not out of beds; they were short on labor.  They were at their 'labor capacity' (some of self-induced, much of it government-induced).  And the national labor crisis has yet to abate, as we continue to handsomely pay people not to work.

Who's being paid not to work still? None of that stuff was renewed. Hasn't been in awhile.

$16 billion per month ....... at a time when there are 11 million job openings.

The FFCRA emergency paid sick leave expired the end of 2020.

Matters little, that factor was a drop in the bucket. 

Added to the massive federal handouts, many still in effect, is the incredible amount of fraud, now estimated at over $46 billion.

That should NEVER have occurred.  

If you can easily rip off tens of billions of dollars, it is easy to see how thousands of votes can be manufactured.

Given that the labor participation rate is still about 1.5% below what it was before the pandemic, that stat alone says there are about 20-30,000,000 people who have still chosen not to go looking for work that were working or at least looking for work before the pandemic.

They are getting by somehow, I don't know or understand how, but they are.

Can't find the link I saw a day or two ago, but it said most of them are either retirement age (pension, savings) or under 30 (mom and dad).  Maybe the younger ones are hoping to get their inheritance early.

You're off by a factor of about 10.

Yup, sure was meant 2-3 million and typed 20-30. 

That’s my bad.

Retirees are not included in the Labor Force Participation Rate.

The 1.5% drop, or 2-3million people, only includes working age adults.
