I'm astonished they didn't scream "Trump's Economy!"

Our Digital Wallets aren't ready yet. The banks can't let hyperinflation take off yet. They're not ready to replace the monetary system yet.

This is because all of their dicks are on the line. There's a reason the price of every commodity is going ups except Gold and Silver ETFs. If it did, JP Morgan Chase would go under.

They would kill 50 million Americans before letting the economy break loose.

Hyper inflation is already here: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/money-supply-m1

There's no stopping it.

And why would they? They engineered this on purpose. Any damage control is to pretend they are doing something to stop it, whilst simultaneously creating boogie men to blame it on.

"Oh, what's that? An oil pipeline was haxxed you say! Damn that's going to cause hyperinflation!"

They know it's here, it's about delaying certain consequences in the right order.

Imagine if we had a competent, functional entertainment industry.

This is ripe for such good satire, too bad nobody will pay for it.

At this rate, in about 10 years satire will be impossible to create.

People would pay for it. The issue is that people are paying to make sure no one is allowed to make it.

I agree, I meant pay to have it produced and distributed. You'd have to self finance.

In Serbia, there is the Bureau of Employment that offers you jobs. Not that I know anyone who found a job that way.

They have a system that knows if you become employed again, perhaps it also reports if you were offered a job but reject it?

This is normal procedure. As an example: When the company I worked for called back people that were laid off due to the government destroying their jobs some of them chose not to come back. The company then reports to unemployment the status change of the employee for refusing the job offer and their benefits are ended.

The only way that this could be overlooked if a person applies for then rejects a job from a new employer and there's no update on the status of the persons job offer.

just give a terrible interview

Or, if you're given government makework, just do it so terribly they fire you.

Saw a dude do this. They gave him a job to paint a wall.

So he started to paint the ceiling.

The only way you can ever get fired from a government job, especially if you are a diversity hire, is if you are caught stealing or kill someone. Anything else can be excused away.

It can be a little different with some of these makework projects, where churn will help someone meet quota.

After all, what's better if my main metric is "placement": One competent minority person who works for six weeks and then the job ends, or a dozen minority fuckups who last about two days each?

That is a high bar to clear. At my last job we had a running list of things you could do as a government employee and not get fired. It was fucking vile.

"You can't discipline me for stealing, it's not listed in my job description to NOT steal, and therefore I can only assume you're being racist and attacking me for things outside the job scope." -Actual excuse given. And it was accepted.

Even before rhe pandemic, my previous employer was looking for basic data entry pple.. only half ever showed up for interviews.

They just reported as not getting the job to the gov to stay on unemployment.

Good thing the word ‘suitable’ Is left wide open. Like HumpHerWayUp Harris- throwing a hot dog down a hallway?

"suitable job" is the key word here. How do you define it? I expect minimum pay is not considered suitable, to many working hours, maybe the conditions are not nice.

You can throw in something like, the employer does not actively support BLM or something as not suitable.

That is as vague as the woke can make it and also congratulate themselves over Biden being a moderate.

This one was a bit of a head-scratcher for me, because I just figured all states' unemployment programs worked like that. Years ago when I got permanently laid off from the desk job I was working I applied for unemployment. In order to maintain my unemployment benefits I had to not only apply for jobs if I wasn't actively in retraining, but also knew that if I was interviewed and offered a job that if I declined it then it could mean the end of my benefits even if I still had time left on that clock. Fortunately, I didn't have to bother with the applying because I was already going back to school, but I would have been making damn sure I was only applying for stuff that I wanted if that were the case.

Or just hardcore bomb the interview.

"Where do you see yourself in ten years?"

"Probably on death row for a workplace related incident. I have anger problems."

I think you guys are missing the big advantage here. Go to every job interview and talk about how you think BLM is a grifter communist organization, how you think diversity issues are bullshit. 4/5 times you won't get the job. Maybe 1/5 times you'd find the work environment you want to be in.

If you don't accept a job you lose your unemployment. Correct me if I'm wrong if you accept a job, you're no longer unemployed and thus ineligible.

You first have to define "**suitable **job"

Is not the guy with a wife and children that does not want to go back to work, is the pot head doing entry level stuff, suitable for them would be a lot of money for little to no work. Either entry level is going to become more expensive to attract them or they keep staying on the government pay.

The end result will be more taxes and inflation either way so now it remains to see how bad it gets.
