I have been recruiting for my team for two months now and the pool of active candidates out there is thinner than I have ever see in it in the last 30 years. These positions are typically highly desirable... white collar tech job at a A-list tech company doing cool cutting edge stuff with great pay and benefits... normally when I post a job like this I get flooded with resumes and i cherry pick the best candidates. This time I got a few resumes on the first few days and then... nothing. Literally no one is applying. What's going on? is everyone really content to cash stimulus and unemployment checks even though the salary range in question is way over those amounts? Is it really true that no one wants to work anymore? I had been recruiting in just Canada but now I have opened it up to a global search and I am still seeing shit for applications.

If this is what the labor market is like everywhere then the global economy is FUCKED.

Right, exactly this. I recently stopped working in an office, and now I'm working 40+ hours a week as a forklift operator and looking at campers to buy then a plot of land. The "pandemic" was basically the last proof I needed that I need to get the hell out of society. A society that lets the cough get used to cause this level of destruction is a society that isn't going to last much longer.

There's really no "path to victory" for normies at this point. At EVERY step of the way they've decided to go with clownworld...including hating me, a young straight white male, because they're told to. FUCK...THAT...and FUCK...THEM...
