The hot topic of the day is “why don’t people want to go back to work”? I think something is being missed.
Republicans say it’s because unemployment is paying “too much”. Or its about lack of child care, or lingering health fears, or schools are still closed, etc. etc.
But what about this? Over the last year plus, many households have had to tighten their belts, maybe instead of two earners, only one. They found that they could do it, and it wasn’t quite so hard as they thought. They’ve lived a different lifestyle, one more centered on home and family. They’ve found there are some things they like about it. They’ve had time to think, and now are asking why go back to that rat race, especially for the peanuts being offered?
Let’s just settle back and live a different life style instead, more focused on the things that are important.
No one is mentioning the possibility of that.
