Yes, It's even difficult to find people to remodel or repair homes.

Too many businesses are finding it difficult to hire employees. Allowing more illegals into the country to fill the employee gap is NOT the answer..

I've heard people actually say, "I'm not going back to work when I can make more money sitting at home."

WOW, almost like people were not paid enough to begin with, sure people don't want to work if they are not paid what their work is worth

To many people are bringing more in on unemployment then they were in their paychecks or for some it's about the same as they were making when working but on unemployment the benefit is they get to stay home for the same amount of money and for some they gained the benefit of no daycare costs.

Yes, but this is not as bad as what it sounds like. Unemployment benefits can help with frictional unemployment. In addition, it can allievate cyclical unemployment social costs that increase with joblessness, like crime, discouraged workers leaving the labor force, family health etc.

It is the right thing to do. It is time to move on with our lives. Those that don't want to move on, can stay home.

It's time to move forward and put this pandemic behind us!!! It is hurting our local revenue as people are frequenting bordering cities where the rules are more relaxed.

It is past time. Those that are at high risk should have already received their vaccination. Time to move on.

Where I work, we have been abiding by the mask mandate since this was put into place for over a year now and getting vaccinated as well. It's time to lift this. The numbers have been decreasing.

The curve has been "flattened," time to move on. Masks do more harm than good.
