The Biden administration continues to set records – and not good ones.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (who I assume showed up to work to give us these numbers), in November 2021, a record 4.5 million Americans quit their jobs. And the numbers did not get any better in December, when another 4.3 million workers quit.
People are just sitting at home and watching TV, angry at the world. A Dallas fan got so mad at the Cowboys for losing in the playoffs that he took out his handgun and shot his television screen. Oscar Wilde said, “Art imitates life.” But in Texas, it often imitates Elvis Presley.
With “Help Wanted” signs at just about every business in America, government has conditioned us to sit at home and be scared. There is no shame in being lazy anymore. Folks have been told by this administration that they are owed something. What happened to personal pride?
