Everyone is having staffing issues. Lack of staff, no one applying for open positions, and the COVID workers refusing to go back to the office, opting for new lifestyles that allow them to work from home or remotely. One semi-positive note is that there are literally thousands of graduates that are entering the job market as high schools and colleges award those valuable degrees. Some will join the military, some will go to trade schools. Others will get married and start making babies, … hopefully. Although that does not solve the issue of entry-level, low-end jobs that don’t pay a lot of money. Frankly, who wants a low paying job? No one. Except maybe someone who would LOVE to have a job, any job … in America. There are still thousands if not millions of immigrants who want to come to the great USA.

So, Biden, Congress, if you’re listening, you need to open the borders, lessen the reigns on the number allowed into the United States, and help solve many of these staffing shortages/issues. The bigger issue that is dominant everywhere, in every country is affordable housing. You can’t just let a few million people move here when they will have nowhere to live. As is stands now, there is a shortage of housing and people can’t afford their rent as it is. So what do most people do? They have roommates, they live with their parents … in their basement forever.
And here are the latest COVID number from the NT Times:
| DAILY AVG. ON MAY 18 | 14-DAY CHANGE | TOTAL REPORTED | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cases | 103,231 | +57% | 82,874,061 |
| Tests | 801,177 | +31% | — |
| Hospitalized | 23,223 | +29% | — |
| In I.C.U.s | 2,497 | +23% | — |
| Deaths | 304 | –17% | 999,607 |
So I guess in the next day or week, the United States will hit a million deaths. Thankfully everyone has their shots and boosters, … right?
