Senate Republicans got called all sorts of awful things for accurately predicting this: https://www.newsweek.com/baltimore-restaurant-owner-cant-get-employees-return-because-they-make-more-unemployment-1503808?fbclid=IwAR0Ta1fNuYzLyoS9IlnG7CCFoe_28pjwO0HWM-OzuWSKLIA6CMlrNM_ZJBA …https://www.wsj.com/articles/businesses-struggle-to-lure-workers-away-from-unemployment-11588930202?mod=e2fb&fbclid=IwAR0hoXcY8ExM5AfnaCu9G0XyMFyeDC9lUi1xi44YX7LeBmGl-0bmY-zMiqA …
