Thanks a million for this excellent rebuttal of James Briggs’ obscene, insulting column, Curt. I sent him an earlier e-mail lambasting his nonsense but, predictably, received no reply. His writing is no less than ridiculous blathering by a terminally-stupid, anti-capitalist liberal.
I think Curt Smith got hung up on the word fetish and it triggered him. The article never said it favored work over workers. More that the State was cutting the federal unemployment program despite any lack of evidence that it was keeping people out of the workforce. Oddly enough, the actual data showed that travel and hospitality jobs came back strong … in part because they started paying more.
People have decided that they aren’t debasing themselves to work garbage jobs and they’ll go work elsewhere. And those in the restaurant industry have had plenty of time find something else that pays better, has better hours, and you don’t have to deal with jerk customers who feel that you should be grateful for the opportunity to be treated like their servant.
We don’t have a jobs problem. We have a wage problem.

Thanks Curt. Per the usual Briggs is so far off base it is a wonder why he has a platform to write the junk he does. People won’t work if they are paid to just sit home and collect a check. A little initiative can go a long way.
