So then according to that turtle inflation isn't a problem. Cue him saying the exact opposite of that.
waynep7120
Frigging stimulus money was gone in days to pay Bills and buy food.
frigidmagi2
Wat? The cash was like 2 bloody years ago. How did no one scream you're a moron at him?

Now explain labor shortage in all other countries. Here's an idea: Everyone were forced to find better jobs during lockdown.
Gestalt7
This is serious, isn't it? A fucking national leader is honestly trying to sell the idea that the peasants are coasting on the stimulus?!?

This: because a guillotine would be too kind for Mitch.

So when are you going to get off your ass and start doing your job mitch?

is he stupid?
TravelinSoulja
I wish. But no. Rather, he knows that the people who vote for him are stupid.

Hey, the old starve them to death method of job filling.

That $600 that was supposed to tide people over for 6 months?
afatrollofmyown
It was a "significant" amount.
OmnipotentBeing
Months? According to Mitch, years.
Targe0
When in reality it did even hold people over for 1 month as for most it was eaten mostly by their rental costs alone and nothing else.
Tomadzo
It’s all bullshit. Everything he said is a lie and wrong
zHurk777
To be fair Kentucky magas love mitch mcconnell; after all, Kentucky is still ranked near the bottom in every economic category.
HellIsRoundTheCorner
I don't know anyone who is flush with anything but fucking BILLS AND RENT AND GAS. What a stupid sack of shit. Fuck you Kentucky.
Forodrim
So their official aim is to force people back into the shitty, underpaid jobs?
zHurk777
#1 thing on the republican party platform is Capitalism. Look it up.
TheRealNotSoSlimShady0
How long did he expect the measly stimulus money to last?
BeanTootsAreBest
Does he really think ppl are still living it up on $5k
LylaLexie
Insert “You guys got 5k??” meme here.
BeanTootsAreBest
Well, I actually don't remember the amount, but there were a couple checks a few years ago, right?
afatrollofmyown
It was barely 3k, what some of us need every month to survive, and that was all they gave us for A YEAR
ChimeraOfFury
me and my spouse got a total of maybe $2000? in 2020. Which immediately paid my credit card off. Which I had run up on... food.
BeanTootsAreBest
I thought there were 2 in 2020, maybe 1 was end of 2019? Anyway, $2k sounds more likely than my shit memory. Regardless, no one is still
BeanTootsAreBest
Living on that money

When was the last time anyone got a fucking check?

I really hope something painful and horrible happens to him, and soon. along with every cunt screwing you Americans.

Mitch McConnell is a piece of shit.
catzrob
Mitch McConnell is a total piece of shit
Corrodias
As is the editor of Insider, who is unironically publishing the idea that there's a "labor shortage".
Ascupart
I'd call him a cunt, but a cunt has warmth and depth.
Ruderali
If he was a politician in a better country, he'd have caught the fast end of a bullet by now
memnm544
Goes without saying.
noWhiteHorseHereJustBatturuPrinsu
He says americans are flush because he's jealous. Somebody flush Mitch.
LendLeaseIdentity
Shit, at least, was once useful, and might turn into fertilizer. I'm betting Fuckonnell would poison any plant trying to grow on his grave.
RanOutofWit
At least his grave will be a gender neutral bathroom.

Reps: You know what will happen if the Democrats win the elections?

That's an insult to shit.

Shit has use as fertilizer.

We deported so many people labor shortages caused wages to increase to the point where we don't have to work 3 jobs to survive. For now 1/
kojenk
Wasnt the deporting cause places without it faced the same. It was covid deaths and ex-staff unwilling to go back to shitty treatment
kojenk
when light got thrown on the fact it could all be better than an ever reducing pittance for ever increasing abuse, injury and work.
Heavenissize17socks
2/but the GOP is voting against lower gas prices and affordable housing b/c working 3 jobs leaves little time to think much less vote. 3/
Heavenissize17socks
4/ did that make any sense?
OneBabyOneHamburgerBun
It's a bit muddled but yeah, the gist of "3 jobs, still fucking broke" comes through along with "And these fucks did nothing to help."

Mitch McConnell admits the entire economy is built on coercion. Do as the corporations say or starve.
aNamelessCreature
I understand some people work because they choose to. Those people have more privilege and freedom than most, more than they realize
kojenk
Last year when they 1st said this some red states did pull unemployment benefits & nothing changed for staff shortages. made got worse tho.
kojenk
Made stuff get worse tho*
ProppaGanda
Wait, what was the last time you guys across the pond got stimulus money?
squidiom
And people like me didn't get any stimulus because we earn too much (not complaining, just saying), so yeah, very few of us are "flush" rn.
squidiom
I make a good living, but I support no less than 3 people I did not marry nor give birth to right now thanks to the state of our economy.
FancySharkDinnerParty
Sometime early last year, iirc
bananabonanza3
Uh… 2020 sometime? We got one for 1.2k and another for either 1k or 600, I forgot.
ProppaGanda
And still living off that money? Damn, you all are so good at fiscal responsibility.
bananabonanza3
According to the decrepit turtle, I guess! Pretty sure it didn’t last the month for most people.
secondtalon
I don't know anyone who had it last more than a week. Everyone I know used it to pay some bill or debt.
HellIsRoundTheCorner
Mine was gone within a day bc I used it to pay my back rent
bananabonanza3
…. Run out of stimulus money? You mean the 1.2k that was gone the week after I got it?
NuclearMonk
You spent all of yours already? Man...
lordretroCartoonGod
Week? Went straight on our credit card, same with the child credits.
dontWasteBandwithWithBadMemes
they should have given it directly to banks, cuz this is where it all been.

I'm your average citizen and i can live off $1200 for at least four years /s

The other problem here is his “solution” of waiting it out encourages businesses to keep the status quote and hire more ethically
GivingIncorrectLocationsToGifs
Should of laid of the coffee and avocado toast. /s
bigred810
Lol I only had mine for less than an hour and the money was gone already.
Miyamotofan
Back in his day 1200 dollars could probably buy you a small house.
yourmomscheese
At least a nice car!
cnphilli
I thought there were monthly payments for people with kids or something.
AlmostScientist
Yours lasted a week?
cnphilli
I still have mine. It might be worth slightly less now though, can't remember exactly when I put it in my IRA.
EKOasaripple
IDK if it's gone now, but my landlord got mine the same day I got it.
Magjee
$1,200 then $600 then $1,400. Said the last one was going to be $2,000, then said no we meant $600 + $1,400 = $2,000. Total shitshow.
AndyKinghorn2718
Ohhh complaining about your free money, here in the uk we got fuck all
Magjee
I'm actually from Canada. Sorry <3

You have the NHS
bananabonanza3
I’m sorry the UK didn’t get anything, but that doesn’t change the fact that McConnell is an out of touch, millionaire fuckwad
yourmomscheese
“Free money”

Mitch's constituency

Targe0
It's because the GOP spins it as "You are only this poor because immigrants are taking your better paying work". They have been lied to.
zHurk777
To be fair mitch mcconnell (R-KY) has been in power for over 30 yrs & Kentucky is still ranked near the bottom in every economic category.
trippingthelightfantastic
There really is no downside for Red state politicians. Blue states bail them out no matter what. They're destructive and cynical.
HellIsRoundTheCorner
They should all be denied food stamps, they all detest socialism.
InnocentValley
I might disagree on that. Their children might be living in a brainwashed household, but hunger is never a lovely feeling to have.
HellIsRoundTheCorner
It sucks for their kids yea but their parents should think of them more.
HellIsRoundTheCorner
And they keep voting for this fucking fuck
BrianDWrecker
Honestly if they want to act like their own little countries they should really force state governments to cover their own populations.
IMakeLotsOfReferencesAndRemakes
Call into local GQP offices and sell them the idea as a "freedom" then let blue states keep their cash and the red ones sink naturally.
BrianDWrecker
It’s ridiculous that blue states are still fitting the bill for our red neighbors’ shitty economies after a hundred years of middle fingers.
HellIsRoundTheCorner
So much this
