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.

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.

Children are not the property of the State. Their safety belongs to their loving parents, not to a politician.

This new guideline will only benefit the big insurance companies as they will no longer have to cover the cost of the vaccines.

Watch the video of rejoicing Venezualans, and the wisdom of this decision is self evident. We saw the same thing when Saddam Hussein was deposed.

Absolutely! It's wonderful finally having a president who is trying to do every single thing he promised the American people in the campaign.

Maduro's drug trade, is an "Act of War" against the US. The military strikes and arrest of Maduro, are Self-Defense. There will be more, and more American lives will be saved.

No. It's an act of war.

If you elect a criminal who thumbs his nose at our laws, you can expect him to ignore international law as well. I can't believe in this country elected him the first time. Doing it a second time shows you how ignorant people are in our country. It's embarrassing.
