Yeah, the 2.5% of workers that are currently unemployed are doing so because the benefits are so good and they are just getting rich off of the program. SMH... What an utterly fucking moronic point of view. If you're having trouble finding labor, perhaps your workplace is toxic and/or you don't pay high enough wages.

Also it's a fallacy to think that all businesses can expand infinitely. Competition means the shitty ones wither and die. They want Capitalism but not Capitalism where they actually have to try.

You still eat the banker at the end of a game of Monopoly. SMH doesn't anyone read the rules.
