UBI is insane, not what Montana is doing. I just wanted to be clear about that.

My company (forestry industry) has been trying to fill positions for a year. We've offered wages well beyond our normal payscale and we're still getting almost zero interest. We have more work than we can possibly get done and nobody wants to show up.

In a weird way it might actually work out positively for your company, as people that actually want to work and do a good job will end up eventually applying instead of welfare loving wastrel faggots.

Yup. It's the perfect time to change careers or shoot for jobs you never would have landed before.

my boss(es) has been looking for topnotch, kickass programmers in a (rural area).

I wish them the best of luck as I remain the only programmer there. I dont think they understand.

1 - they aint cheap, I'm just not greedy and love the work

2 - LMAO, there isnt anyone else like me in this podunk town muhahahahahahahahahah keep lookin!!! hahahahahahah maybe in the barn? hahahahahahah

Fun fact: my first job was at 12, $5/hour for chopping down tree with an axe, 10 hours a day, alone in Texas. Dudes wife made me sandwiches. In Texas, a 12 year old working man can get an ounce for $50 bucks. I was rich!

Britain has been dealing with this malaise for decades. Women don't Marry Men over there anymore, they get knocked up leave the man and become permanent welfare queens married, in effect, to the State.

This is fucked up beyond all recognition, at least the commies got one thing right and enforced having a job by law; if you were caught out on the street without the stamp in your papers declaring you a valid worker they would find a job for you... in the gulag. (no joke)

And yet the left constantly promises a utopia without work.. and they buy it.

Every western commie rat imagines themselves to be a Party bureaucrat, a writer, a journalist, with freedoms unavailable to the masses. It never occurs to them that they would be ploughing fields for 16 hours a day.

Just look for jobs in consulting forestry. It's a small enough world. Someone who wants to work will find my company eventually.

That's how the market is supposed to work. If the cost of labor exceeds the value of the product, that's a market signal that it does not want more product.

Now lets talk about how marketing ass blasts all natural market signals and creates a feedback loop that ends up blowing asset bubbles.

I'd work more if there were no more mask mandates. I work to make human connections, not just to get my bills paid. If the customers, the coworkers, and I feel like we're just going through motions just to exist, I'd rather just stay home and collect money so I can delay having to be in such a depressing environment.

You know, I don't totally disagree. I fought my company for months over the masks, I even had to threaten to call OSHA for them to provide masks we could breathe through and throw away every 2-3 hours.

I had to pause at this spot.

high-end restaurants like Wolfgang Puck’s Spago Beverly Hills, where servers can earn $100,000 a year with tips, also are struggling to recruit workers.

WTF, I know it's Beverly Hills, but what in the fuck. 100k after tips for slinging food to yuppy rich fucks?

[–] • 1 pt

that must not be that impressive due to living expenses in commie sanctuaries being also rediculous.

Sometimes when I bartended I would make more in tips than my parents would in a week. And I'm a dude.

Getting a job in one of those restaurants is akin to getting a starting line position in the NFL; people do some crazy shit to just get to be a server to one of the customers who do even crazier shit just to be able to go to that restaurant.

Honk honk.

Going against the grain here, look at the comments "qualified" "eligible" it indicates people are applying, but not the ones they want. Reeks of greed.

In the UK people struggle to find worthwhile jobs, most are underpaid and overworked, to the point that the low unemployment benefits (300 per month) is worth it over the loss of time of a typical 40 hour(+5-10 hour travel). If I got offered a sign on bonus and a better hourly rate, I'd leave my current job and know plenty of out of work people who would jump for it.

This is the quintessential difference between modern day Bongs and 40 year ago Burgers, back then accepting the "free gibs" would brand you as a loser.

Now a State has said that there will be no feebies if you want to live here and people freak out... as if somebody actually owed them something for some reason.

(+5-10 hour travel)

Back when I worked in America there was a couple who were about to retire but still had to put a bit more time in, they bought a house where they could afford one and traveled 3 hours to work and another 3 hours to get home. Everyday. 5 days a week. It's a different mindset but who knows which is better.

"workers must be actively searching for a job to qualify for unemployment benefits."

This is of utmost importance; stick and carrot..

I don't know much about the US social security services, but personal audits and creation of a plan of how to return to the workforce of every single unemployed person is paramount, unless you want your country flooded with immigrants willing (and probably brown-) hands.. with the inevitable "cultural enrichment" as an added bonus.

There are always grey figures and factors in unemployment-statistics, as it's a quite diverse crowd.

It would be ridiculous to expect a MD to apply for a Walmart greeter-job immediately upon unemployment, however any healthy society should expect that the said (able to work-) MD at some point does have to accept ANY job or lose their government benefits.

Many in the figures are surely not anything but people who are able to work, but who can't be assed to, as the gibs me dats are too high, the requirements for recieving them are too lax and the incentive to get a job therefore just isn't there..

Montana is on the right track, that is if the initiative and legislation survives the following woke attack.

It surely will be cried out as both unfair and extremely stressful for the classic victims.. we all know who they are..

I was on unemployment at one point when I was younger. The state required that I apply for X amount of jobs weekly and I took it pretty seriously only to find out they don't even verify whether you did or not.

[–] • 0 pt

Same in Denmark, but bottom line is that they could find out if you're cheating and eventually you'll end up in a category, where they'll just place you somewhere likely undesireable..

Incentive to employment can be forced upon people and it should too; if you're able to contribute in any way, you owe it to society or at least to your fellow man..

"workers must be actively searching for a job to qualify for unemployment benefits."

That's the wonderful thing about Capitalist systems, there will always be niche opportunities to make money and businesses will pop up like mushrooms to take advantage of said opportunities. The laws here are the same that you must "look" for work if you want the gibs but "recruitment" companies that never placed a single applicant into a job covered that loophole. Bum shows up to meet his requirement of looking for work and "recruitment agency" makes a false record that bum looked for work. "Recruitment agency" gets their fee from the Government and bum gets his check.

My personal philosophy is that if you don't work you don't eat but I'm a bit old school.

[–] • 1 pt

The integrity of any system can never be stronger than the weakest link..

If the recruitment agencies are not at least spot-checked and validated regularily by a (dutiful) government body, then the system isn't reliable and definitely up for revision or renewal.

Being somewhat oldschool myself, i can sympathize with the "don't work, don't eat" to some extent.

A absolute legend of Danish politics, Mogens Glistrup, once publicly announced in his campaign to become Danish PM, that he wanted to scrap the social security system and put up oatmeal-automatrons instead..

His party won by a landslide, but the establishment held onto power, forming a minority-government out of sheer fear of this guy.. which probably was somewhat warranted:

Among the partys agendas, was the more or less total dismantlement of the existing system and asked what his title would be in government, he replied: " i'll be Minister for the dismantling of the public sector"..

Uh, sidetracked..

My understanding of basic human rights in a western society is the following: Food in the stomach, roof over your head, clothes on your body and no gibs me dats.. you work for any extras.

Context of the above: i'm a citizen in Denmark; a country provinding ample "gibs" to any and every citizen: social security for everyone, free healthcare and free education.. err, edit that last one; society provides 11 ys. of (obligatory) free school and will pay you to educate yourself further. Ie: you can obtain a university-degree/doctorate for free and will be paid throughout the entiety of this effort..

Don't ask me why i'm not all for third world freeloaders; it should be obvious..

Montana has a huge problem of nomadic beggars coming from other states, and it gets annoying at times. I knew this one "beggar", she had a cell phone, 4 kids, and was horribly impulsive. She could not understand how being handed 20$ and losing it, does NOT constitute not being given 20$. She thought because she lost the money, than it was never given. This is the level of retardation Montana has to work with when it comes to unemployment issues.

There's no such thing as a worker shortage. That's jew-speak for "people don't want to work for the wages I want to pay."
