Inflation

As we come out of Covid, our economy is struggling to get cought up. People are begining to get out and go back to eating out and shopping in stores with the money they have saved up, manufactures can't keep up with demand. 

With people not wanting to work or deciding they don't have to and are just relying on the government for money is a leading cause for inflation in the U.S. With unemployment checks being given out, people are using that as their income as apose to working. The reason this can cause inflation  is because without people working in factorys, at ports and docks, and in resturaunts it makes it hard for companys to keep up. Without people working at ports and docks there is not enough people to unload boats, not enough truck drivers to move these goods.

The issue of people not working leads into another issue, manifactureing. Manufacturing companys can't get what they need to build the goods they need for sales. Due to people not working at docks, they can't load semis with goods and when there is enough people to unload ships, there isn't enough if any semis to load.  This has cuased prices of almost everything to rise. With this, people who are at work could potentialy will demand a raise. With people getting this raise, prices of things will still rise and people will demand another raise. 

There things that can be done to combat this. If the government would stop giving out unemployment, it would force people to go back to work, which would assist with stopping the problem of not being able to get goods off ships, people to drive semis, and manufatures would be able to get what they need to make products which would cause prices to go back down and help to stop inflation.

I personally think this could be stopped if the government would stop giving out unemployment. This would get people to stop being lazy and get their jobs back. 

Do you think inflation is a big issue?

Do you think the government should stop giving out unemployment checks?

  • Great topic choice Brian! You explaiend the supply chain issue going on in the US very well. You should use sources to back up what you say otherwise it could be see as opinion only.  Be sure to comment on three different days. -20 two days late.

  • I do believe that inflation is a very big problem. In the current state of the United States, the wages of americans our not keeping up with the current inflation. This is going to create a huge problem if it is not solved quickly. I do not think that the United States government should stop giving out uneployment checks fully, but I do think that they need to make it harder to aquire them so the people who actually need it can use it. 

  • I think inflation could be considered a big problem but with the increase and the growth of demand, no one is really suprised at the inflation. I think that the government should stop giving out these checks. The government can't really afford this, and I think if we don't stop it completely we should be making sure the people receiving them truly are not able to work. 

  • I think inflation is definetly a big issue, you can't buy as much with the same amount of money as you used to be able to. Yet the minimum wage hasn't been changed. Also I think the government should stop giving out money to people who won't work. There is plenty of jobs out there for people to work they just don't want to. But some people are unable to work and they do need the check.

  • I find it not right how the government is giving out unemployment checks to the poeple of America. Most of these people who are getting these checks are actually very capable of getting a job and working for their money. I feel they are taking advantage of the system.

  • I think inflation is a big issue, and that the government should stop giving out unemployment checks. These checks have caused people to be lazy and make money. Even though there are some people who actually need them, we need people who are able to work to start working.

  • I think they should stop giving out unemployment checks. there are a lot of jobs out there that peole can aapply for. you also make money while working for the job that you applied for.

  • In my opinion, I think that the government should stop giving out unemployment checks. As we know there are plenty of jobs out there. For example, we might not be getting something or having a shortage of something just because people aren't getting out of their chairs and are working. We, the hard-working Americans, are having to struggle just because some people just want to make money and spend it on lavish things 

  • I definitely think the government should stop giving out unenployment checks. People are relizing they don't have to do anything to make money, so that is what they are doing. I think the government should stop giving unenployment checks to those who are able work, to motivate people to actually go to work, and make their own money.

  • I think that the government should only give unemployment checks to people who actually need them. Some people just want to be lazy and not doing anything, but still get paid. However, others actually can't get a job because of certain reasons and they could be effected in a bad way if the government took away everyone's unemployment checks. I do think that inflation is a big issue.
