You see, longterm labor shortages don’t exist in large market economies. But the news media counts on workers being too dumb to understand the wage mechanism. So everyone in media pretends to believe in labor shortages. Like they were jackalopes. Let’s print shares & not visas. https://t.co/1BamM9kNEo — PolitiTweet.org

I feel gaslit when grown-ups talk about labor shortages in market economies w wage mechanisms. It’s basically an admission that capitalism is meant as a TRICK where workers can’t benefit from markets. Let’s talk about the ongoing equities shortage & printing shares for workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s talk about “equities shortages” which are no more real than “labor shortages”. That way every S.O.B. who whines about a labor shortage will hear: “Oh. It’s because of the Stock Share Shortage. You just have to print new shares of your company to get your workers energized.” — PolitiTweet.org
