1. Douchey doesn't have the same fire behind his talking points from the echo chamber

He used to be soooo sure of himself all smug and cocky but now it’s like he goes soft so the ass whooping isn’t so bad.

2. It's Very Simple; They're Cheap Labor Conservatives

The only reason conservatives are concerned is because a "shortage" of labor pushes up prices (aka wages)
Conservatives HATE that. The Conceptual Guerilla told us all this years ago. And it bears repeating now.

"When you cut right through it, right-wing ideology is just "dime-store economics" - intended to dress their ideology up and make it look respectable. You don't really need to know much about economics to understand it. They certainly don't. It all gets down to two simple words.

"Cheap labor". That's their whole philosophy in a nutshell - which gives you a short and pithy "catch phrase" that describes them perfectly. You've heard of "big-government liberals". Well they're "cheap-labor conservatives".

"Cheap-labor conservative" is a moniker they will never shake, and never live down. Because it's exactly what they are. You see, cheap-labor conservatives are defenders of corporate America - whose fortunes depend on labor. The larger the labor supply, the cheaper it is. The more desperately you need a job, the cheaper you'll work, and the more power those "corporate lords" have over you. If you are a wealthy elite - or a "wannabe" like most dittoheads - your wealth, power and privilege is enhanced by a labor pool, forced to work cheap."

4. "if you make $32,000/year you're better on unemployment? BS.

5. They will never stop thinking that working class Americans

are out to bilk the system.*

Projection.

*and even moreso, for low income

8. I think it equals 30k, around 15 an hour. Because the number has not been consistent thru year.

6. Who needs data analysis, when you have anecdotes

(Or maybe you are making them up)?

[LizBeth]

7. That he verbally states the number "under 32K" and no one out loud says, and who can live under 32k?

I mean, he kn9ows the number. We all know how little 32k is today especially cost of living in so many places.

9. Jen Should Have Asked Him

then why are you here? Why aren't you at home collecting unemployment if it's so good?

[MichMan]

10. Why didn't she say that the policy was being revised to require people to take a job if offered?

Instead of saying there was no evidence that people were staying on unemployment out of choice.

“We’re going to make it clear that anyone collecting unemployment who is offered a suitable job must take the job or lose their unemployment," Biden said in remarks in the East Room. "There are a few covid-19 related exceptions ... But otherwise that’s the law.”
