I have to say, it is not a bad thing, that Walmart is doing this. When they gave the 2 weeks leave, they were just following the CDC, trying to keep their employees happy, and their image look good to the people of the U.S. So now that things have started to peak, and now to turn back down, they are doing the same thing. I myself can't understand why young guys, just starting out, don't take the jobs at some of the local fast food joints here in my city. They are paying $15 an above for starters. Some of them are even offering bonus pay for starting of 500$. My guess is that you have to pay it back if you don't stay a certain length of time. Most of them even have benefits like college tuition, 401k matching, flexible hours, etc. A woman I know, who was a foster child, when I was married to my ex, and we were foster parents, and she was 16, she started at Wendy's. She made .50 cents more than she was working for an old folks home. And almost as much as when she was a CNA. She didn't tell me how much she was making per hour, since she told me that Wendy's discouraged it, and she had just started. But you get the impression that it had to be over the 15$ that all the rest of the fast food joints paid. The government, Democrats of course, have done the exact same thing to the American people in general that they did with the poor black people living in the inner cities. They gave them money and "stuff" to make them dependent on them, and thus make them vote for them, in order to keep that spigot open, and more free "stuff" flowing. When the government printed more money and gave the American people "stimulus checks" to make up for the money that they lost because of the pointless shutdowns of pretty much everything, including jobs, and even gave an extra 600$ a week to unemployment checks. The end result? Well of course, the first thing, other than added trillions in debt, runaway inflation, etc. it also discouraged people from looking for work, since they made so much money from NOT WORKING. When things slowed down, including the economy, and the Democrats started to let the businesses start to open up again, what they found is that the people that they normally would count on coming back to work for them, chose to remain on unemployment, rather than go back to work. And the U.S. Government does not do anything to help businesses get their workers back in order to ramp their businesses back up and running. Instead of cutting the unemployment benefits, to discourage people from malingering, and just sitting home instead of going back to work, the government continues to pay them to keep on sitting, only now they get to play and do anything they want to do, without worrying about the government saying that they have to quarantine inside their homes. I saw on the television that 2/3 of the cases of death from covid were actually attributed to people who had at least 6 other comorbidities. A lot of them actually had no symptoms of covid at all. We of course, all knew that the number was fake, and that when government gives more money to a hospital for a death due to covid, then of course the hospital is going to label as many deaths to covid as they can. The federal government has done a horrible job at this entire covid pandemic, from former president Trump, to current president Biden. To say that no one could have done a good job, is just not true. A president who was not a politician first, and a leader second, could have taken this pandemic by the horns, and done a much better job at ending it.
