That is definitely very disturbing to see. Humans are our worst enemy. Drugs are not a good thing! Evil people make money on other people’s addiction.
At the same time, I don’t think what the OP posted the video of is an accurate reason behind the labor shortage. What’s depicted in the video is not happening here and we still have a labor shortage.
What’s going on in the labor market is a generation gap. More are retiring than being replaced. And the Covid BS has sped up the retirement! Coming to a liberal state near you soon ---- oh wait you are almost there now. -- Give it a couple of years - it isn't completely a generation gap thing. You just haven't dug into why you can't get replacement workers yet.

And for the Dems the most important issue is what pronoun should people be using.

I agree that whatever the heck those folks in the video are taking is NOT what is causing the labor gap. But I disagree, to an extent, that what is causing it is a generation gap, as defined above. It IS though, a generation gap causing it. Anyone age Gen X above works, while anyone below GenX tries to find every way out of working. So Beavretriever isn't exactly wrong. More ARE retiring than those replacing them.... because those who should be replacing them refuse to work for a living/

This is not just in the big cities guys and gals. Our Sheriff has a small quiet support group for First responders and Deputies and EMT's The purpose is helping these hero's deal with our small rural area where many do know the last names or families of O/D victims. Some having been saved by Narcan, MULTIPLE TIMES! Some don't make it. It does impact the people called to help. Not too many weeks ago a young person that has the family name dating back to the first settlers in our area. The family has grown, branched out to several farms and business locally. The young person cooked up the fentanyl laced heroin, two syringes. Person was found with one syringe in the leg, thumb on the plunger. Other syringe loaded and ready laying next to the person. Imagine the impact on the Officers, First Responders and EMT's that see this all too often, young and old victims, that just didn't have to be....The countries and cartels sending the drugs use them instead of bullets to attack us, and get rich doing it.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Fox news had a story on this morning said 90 % of the people not returning to work fell into 3 catagories. 1 Living off stock market winnings 2 Retired 3 and the biggest were 20-35 year olds that moved back into parents homes during shutdown sponging off them !!! I think they forgot a pretty important one. People 18-80 sponging off of welfare.
