re: #93 Dopamine Fish

Also done intentionally by the Republicans, in order to reduce the power of the labor market as much as possible. If people feel they are forced to work, they are more likely to take whatever they can get, instead of the current climate of, “I’m going to hold out for something that pays me what I’m worth, or at least enough to risk the biscuit.”

I read a theory that a lot of the people who haven’t come back are actually retirees who aren’t going to come back, as the pandemic triggered a lot of working people in their fifties to just go ahead and retire.
