Reply to comment by LazyPiece2 in US jobless claim applications fall to lowest in 14 weeks by AudibleNod

i wonder if they are having a hard time contemplating that there's a million job openings out there right now - and we're probably short about 2 million possible workers due to Covid deaths, early retirement (because of Covid) and an immigration policy that simply was "No." for most of the last three years.

I think they know very well what it’s going to mean. And they have tried to say it in a way that won’t scare people but I don’t think enough people pay attention. It’s going to hurt. But it’s also the only control that they have. There are other ways to fight inflation without it hurting as badly but that would require legislation and real regulation. And the country just put the GOP in control of the house so I mean we get what we deserve.
