Re: Ed Dowd: 30% of the Workforce is Sick, Injured, or Dead
i believe it.. 2 years ago I put 20% down on a $750,000 USD sailing yacht that my family and I were going to sail around the world on, to be made by one of the premiere yacht builders in the world.

It has been delayed so many times now and every time they say, "We can't find anyone to work the ship yard". This is from Fountaine Pajot, a world renowned yacht builder. I gave up and got my money back.

Wow, you can afford a yacht that costs more than most houses. We are working ourselves to the bone and we keep losing. The irs is mostly the reason why we keep losing

Nobody wants to work any more. Everyone is tired of the BS and also humans shouldn’t be working 9-5, for 5 days a week. We will have to introduce AI bots to replace us and then give us a universal basic income since nobody wants to work (and nobody wants to have babies any more which are too expensive so that is leading to population decline).
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85753666


Young people can hardly afford an apartment. Most cannot afford a house. So they just don’t have kids. And who can afford daycare. Also no smart parent wants to give up their child to public education who will take them away and mutilate them for the trans agenda. There are no incentives to have kids these days.

Re: Ed Dowd: 30% of the Workforce is Sick, Injured, or Dead
there are A LOT of open jobs right now

cant say its due to one thing or another , but all the open positions dont tell a lie.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80804854


I'm a project superintendent in a major West Coast metropolitan area. The Carpenters, Electricians, Plumbers, Steamfitters, HVAC and other Union organizers in my area all report that, despite efforts to disguise the trend, employment in the commercial building trades is actually down more than 35% over 2019 levels. This is HUGE and it's going to get MUCH MUCH worse. Many of my area's major projects slated to break ground over the next two years have been canceled. Just in this past week, Google pulled the plug on a project with over 7 million square feet of commercial space, along with 12,000 housing units. We have a glut of office and commercial space in every market, and with remote workforces, automation and rapid, widespread adaption AGI-like productivity tools, most companies will be scaling back on employees even further over the coming years.

Tech employment is in the toilet. Bio-science and the healthcare space seems to be thriving, but not enough to makeup for the massive declines elsewhere.

There are a lot of displaced, highly-skilled professionals who've been benched because of still lingering--despite the government not renewing them--vaccine mandates throughout many professions. Large numbers of pilots, doctors, nurses and other HCPs, engineers, teachers, programmers etc. have been stripped of their careers. The official narrative is being called "The Great Resignation", only it's not actually people deciding to scrap lucrative, rewarding careers that they loved. It's just a cover story to hide the huge number of highly-skilled professionals who've been deprived of their livelihoods by refusing to comply with covid vaccine mandates.

It's not all doom and gloom, but it's much, much later than many of us think it is, when it comes to technology advancing and eliminating employment opportunities across many of our largest sources of high-paying jobs. This is not getting nearly as much attention as it should. They're really going to have to push their Woke agenda harder than ever in order to divert attention away from the major upheaval we're all headed into.

Many just don't want to work. I've seen countless people begging at intersections of major shopping/food commercial areas that have multiple businesses that are hiring.

Lazy MF'ers.
 Quoting: DevilDog1775


Most of those people are not well in one way or another or many ways.

A lot of people have been murdered.
A lot of people are disabled and dealing with illness full time.
A lot of people saw how evil this world is and refuse to participate now!
A lot of people cannot make enough money to even cover the gas, car, insurance, etc… to work.

The price of living and wages is way out of balance.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85756139


Homelessness way up. Hard to work if you don’t have an address. Or a place to shower and clean your clothes.

This is a great post, I saved it for my personal notes. Anyway, What I wanted to say was you are absolutely right.

You will see things like Artificial Intelligence research get scaled back because people are afraid of losing more jobs, things like this will happen like overnight.

I quit a career and job I loved when I was 30 years old, In Computer/IT Mid-Level systems management, a number of years back, prior to Covid and haven't looked back. I am homeless now, Living with my Mother in Alberta, collecting Disability Benefits for mental illness.

Its very important if you are anything like me, To stay in good relations with family and friends because you may have no choice but to rely on others for a home or place to live, especially if you are looking to retool your skillset and become a HVAC/Plumber or other in-demand trade.

Anyway,
My heart goes out to everyone out there who is in a situation like we are, It is not the best, The Housing industry is impossible, Even when I was working for 70,000$ a year at age 27, They wouldn't issue me a mortgage which I could have continued to support with my Government disability benefits, but now that I am on the benefits only, Creditors won't touch me. Its a problem in a nutshell.

There are many other problems in the world rite now, as well, Rising inflation is just one of them.

I wish you the best, thanks for your informative post. Its too bad to hear Google cancelling such assuming AI-level projects because of the new "Control and Regulation" initiatives and the risk of job losses.

Re: Ed Dowd: 30% of the Workforce is Sick, Injured, or Dead
Can only speak for edmonton and area. They say unemployment is lower than its ever been. Problem is everyone is looking for workers. 100,000 new immigrants in Calgary alone. Alberta is trying to entice skilled workers to move here and offering bonuses of 1500 bucks to stay on for a year. Covie killed so many companies. You can see it everywhere with for lease signs in so many buildings. So what is going on?

Theorys: we are being lied to on a massive scale. Covie made so many just retire early and others to just say f it and downsize. Others like the smart and wealthy moved out and took their balls with them out of country. Others are dead. Others are sick. Others are caring for the sick. Others had family die off and now have their houses and savings to live off of. Tonnes of homeless and ever growing camps. Others got fired and moved in with parents and friends. Lots of people making due with way less. Lots of people found out their real value to their employers by being fired or laced off.

Employment levels only seem low because they only record people on employment insurance. Those who had it run out or couldn't collect it are not counted. Nice trick they pull. Those people are still not vaxxed and still can't find work. How long do you keep looking for work until you give up completely. Lots in that category. Anyone or business who does any health care work or contracts through them still can't get a job unless vaxxd. What do you do then? You start your own job, move to somewhere else for a job, do online work, beg borrow, or steal. Also some went contract work and only need to do a couple of jobs a month to make what they used to working for someone else doing 10 or more jobs a month.

My take is that every number they put out is lies. Employment deaths, moves, workforce, employers looking for workers. Ffs over half of Employment posting are fake.

Meanwhile they cry for workers but want to pay less that pre scamdemic wages! Lmfao. Everything has more than doubled in price including housing. Minimum wage should be 30 bucks an hour. You know....double the minimum as everything else has doubled. Gas, doubled. Housing, doubled. Groceries....doubled. the only thing that hasn't doubled in price is wages.

I work in a 4 man dept. In Oct one went out on Cancer Disability, he wont ever work again. Younger kid quit for better paying job...bonus because he was lazy as shit. 3 weeks ago the manager whose been ignoring his blood pressure for a year went out on Kidney Failure. He probably will never work again either....he can ride disability right into social security....If he even recovers. Completely delusional due to the toxins built up over time. So the four man dept is just me.....People with no exp are saying they want 60k to start....The job pays 35 to 40k. Its an easy job, laid back atmosphere, flexible scheduling and it can be fun.
So Im getting 60 hours a week now and all the commission.

Most of these people are involved in criminal activity such as drug dealing, money laundering, fencing, ect...
The criminal underground economy in the USA is now bigger than the genuine economy which produces things and offers real services..

Eventually in the USA nothing will get done, this is the direction we are headed to in about 25 years.
