I'll make the case that Biden's bad jobs report (last Friday...266K new jobs when 1 mil were forecast) is the product of bad policy. That bad policy is allowing extended, and enhanced unemployment benefits that destroy any incentive to go out and get a job. As a result...and as we've discussed...employers are struggling to find enough workers. The Biden administration is denying the benefits are the problem...but here and across the country, employers say otherwise!
I'll also make the case that this immediate worker shortage problem shows how liberal policies of promoting big government and the welfare state just don't work well in a free enterprise system and wind up hurting the economy by destroying individual initiative and reducing productivity, which winds up hurting the nation's overall standard of living!

Word today that more cruise lines may leave Florida as DeSantis and the CDC continue their legal showdown over requiring passengers to be vaccinated. As I said last week, I love the Gov, but think a cruise ship is a special environment, and a petri dish for fast spreading germs and sickness, and with COVID still a threat....should be an exception to his policy of no vaccine requirements. Unless he gives on this, he could lose an entire industry he's trying to save! Do you and our listeners share my concerns or not?

Disney's gone woke and is reportedly pushing critical race theory on its employees, forcing white workers, among other things, to fill out questionnaires about their white privilege. The reporting indicates a lot of Disney workers are really unhappy about all this...but afraid to say anything for fear of losing their jobs.
