      Do labor shortages even exist? Usually when I hear this claim with respect to the US economy it’s complete bullshit.

        Sectorial and regional labor shortages are real. In a population the size of the US, national labor shortages don’t— it’s just wages below what the labor market determines appropriate.

        No, there is no such thing as a labor shortage. There is only employers’ unwillingness to pay market wages.

    Watched this recently. “I’m here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I’m all out of bubble gum”.

        I love how they’re like… frenemies during the fight, so three’s a bit where he grabs a metal pole and breaks a window of a car, realises what he’s done, says sorry, throws the pole away, and they go back to fisticuffs.
