Huh, the whole system breaks down when people aren’t forced to spill their blood for the line by threats of imminent homelessness and/or starvation? That’s some good freedom we’ve got here :amerikkka-clap:

This is the pandemic of 2021 — lack of people to work.

Bullshit. If you apply yourself and make an effort to pay a competitive wage you can always get all the labour you need.

He should stop being so lazy and ask for handouts. What happened to personal responsibility?

“This is the COVID of 2021,” Motta added. “This is the pandemic of 2021 — lack of people to work.”
