News Brief - “Labor Shortages”, “Chipotle Price Increases” & “Unemployment Fraud”: Media Assists Capital’s Attack on UI

I laugh when right wingers say it’s an “entry level” job or describe minimum wage jobs as being done mostly by teenagers. The best response to a pro business waste of oxygen who says that is to ask them “are businesses are closed during school hours?”

Such a great episode. I was wondering if and where I can find your source material?

Little anecdote from Italy regarding pro-business propaganda, that doesn't add anything to the narrative except that it amazes me because of the formal differences between our countries. See, over here we have a minimum guaranteed income law. Said law is far from perfect (mostly because it leaves out large parts of the population), but for brevity's sake let's just say that what little it *does* accomplish, it's still deemed unacceptable by the business class at large. So, over the past weeks, we have been bombarded daily by all major media outlets with these same bullshit stories about restaurants that are desperately looking for workers, but can't find none allegedly because the unemployed are now living in opulence thanks to the aforementioned law. Needless to say, no journalist dares suggest that raising wages could be an incentive; worse than that, they don't even take a look at the job offers themselves. And when someone does (usually the workers themselves, or independent leftist media), what ALWAYS turns out is that they expect people to work 10-12 hours a day, six days a week – for way less than 1,000 €, at that. And while the narrative is being pushed mostly by restaurant owners, it extends to everybody. So much so that these parasites, having gone in full crusader mode against workers with just a modicum of leverage, don't even care anymore about sounding civilised. As one of them adamantly put it a couple of days ago: "Having people with too many rights makes recruiting harder." You could hear pharaohs and slaveholders clapping their hands.

Vampires. The lot of them.
