If the state quit giving unemployed people paid benefits then people will start looking for a job.

Help wanted signs are everywhere and businesses are closing due to not having enough staff on hand to run their business. If businesses close the county and state lose revenue!

Everywhere you look are help wanted signs Everywhere you go employees that are on the job are explaining why the service is so slow. The explanation is the same: too many places are short of staff.

The government wants people to relay on them instead of being an independent person. Also by not working it kills the local economy.

There are plenty of places that are short staffed and needing help. Any job is better than none. Go to work.

republican sure like to keep the rich richer and the POOR poorer If Missouri employers would pay a living wage this wouldn't be happening, they would have all the employees they need, in fact be able to pick from a list of people!

The average pay for an EMT Emergency Medical Technician in Missouri is $13.10 an hour. Do you think that people who work at McDonalds should get better pay than an EMT

Yes, I think that the $300 federal should be stopped on those who have been given this since the pandemic began. They have abused this privilege by not finding a new job.But if you lose your job after June 1st you should be able to get the $300 until september but still need to report work search.

Absolutely no reason for Military or ICE in MO or any state. Local law enforcement is present if needed.. Militant force against citizens in this country is unconstitutional. Another step to control citizens,further project 2025 and intimidate us and thwart 2025 and 2026 elections.

Inappropriate use of our talented national guard personnel. Local trouble is what we have local police for. Zaos, what if this was the zeitgeist when your ancestors arrived in this great land?

They are incompetent and don't need to stir the pot. They and ICE need to leave us alone. I'm tired of chaos and tired of us blaming the immigrants, when in reality, it's our fault for the slow process.

We should not be using military personnel on US soil unless ABSOLUTELY necessary (uncontrollable rioting, etc) This is about politics, not safety.

Do we really need the national guard to protect federal agents? This is a blatant abuse of American resources to support a xenophobic crackdown of our communities.
