> They Put Their Life At Risk: Sen. Paul Decries Firing Of Frontline
> Workers Over Vaccine Mandates

Recent news of staff "shortages"... are not the fault of Corona.
The fault is Joe Biden and his stupid mandate push has
OUTRIGHT FIRED massive numbers of hospital factory
shipping etc workers nationwide, which then directly
caused staffing capacity issues and worker depression burn.
Further, over half of US being vaxxed should have cut hospital
occupancy in half, but it didn't... so vaxes aren't working as advertised.
It's also caused by the Democrats UTTERLY DEPRESSING
messaging panic FUD lockdowns and Socialist schemes, further
amped up by their 24x7 lapdog media, wishywashy Fauci, welfare
handouts, woke, forced vax, corona rituals, vaxx passports, etc.
People are tired of that shit, it's not Corona, it's government.
Besides, you need good vibes to fight a war, and Biden is not that.

New York Times Fails To Deliver Post-Christmas Sunday Edition Due To
Production Delays

Where did all the workers go?  That is a great mystery that continues
to be unsolved.  All over America, businesses are literally hiring
anyone with a pulse and there are “help wanted” signs all over the
place.  But the number of people that are actually working is still
close to four million below the pre-pandemic peak.

What happened to all of those extra workers?  They certainly aren’t on
unemployment, because claims for unemployment benefits are the lowest
that we have seen “in decades”.  So where are they?  It is almost as
if millions upon millions of people have disappeared from the system
completely over the past couple of years.

Needless to say, this lack of workers is having a dramatic impact on
the delivery of basic services all over the country.

For example, some of the biggest banks in the U.S. are “temporarily”
closing lots of branches due to a lack of staff…

    Big banks are temporarily closing branches across the nation as
they cope with labor shortages and ongoing complications from
Covid-19, including the arrival of the more contagious Omicron
variant.

    It mirrors widespread branch closures at the start of the pandemic
in March 2020 when many thought the economic lockdown would be
measured in weeks. The new round of temporary closures — sometimes
occurring sporadically — are sparking anger, confusion and angst among
customers.

If your local bank branch is now closed, it may be quite a while
before it opens again.

In fact, Bank of America is telling their customers that some branches
may be shut down “for an extended period of time”…

    “Many of our locations may have reduced hours, alternate days of
operations or may have been temporarily closed,” Bank of America Corp.
(NYSE: BAC) tells customers on its website. “We are doing everything
we can to reopen as soon as possible, though some locations may remain
closed for an extended period of time.”

Even more alarming is what staffing shortages are doing to hospitals
all across the nation.

Without enough qualified personnel, many hospitals are having a really
difficult time delivering basic services right in the middle of this
pandemic, and the cost of hiring replacements has even pushed some
facilities into bankruptcy…

    The U.S. health-care profession is suffering its own Great
Resignation, pushing more hospitals into financial distress just as a
winter surge of the coronavirus hits.

    Across the country, hospitals are buckling under the strain of
nursing shortfalls and the spiraling cost of hiring replacements. For
Watsonville Community Hospital on California’s Central Coast, those
costs became too much to bear, and contributed to the facility’s
bankruptcy this month, according to a person familiar with the
situation.

Because there is such a lack of nurses, any that become available are
often the subject of bidding wars, and those with the biggest
checkbooks end up winning…

    “This is like survival stakes,” said Steven Shill, head of the
health-care practice at advisory firm BDO USA. Winners are “whoever’s
highest on the food chain and who has the biggest checkbook.” The
staffing companies — agencies that provide nurses and other staff on a
temporary basis — are “really, really, really gouging hospitals.”

I specifically warned that a lot of these hospitals in blue states
were going to be facing severe personnel shortages as a result of the
absurd mandates that were being imposed.

Now these institutions have been put in an untenable situation right
in the middle of a raging pandemic, and the ones that instituted the
mandates are the ones that are responsible for this state of affairs.

Meanwhile, patients just continue to pour into our hospitals at an
alarming rate.  At one hospital in Ventura County, large numbers of
people are coming in complaining of “unexplained heart problems,
strokes and blood clotting”, and this has pushed the patient census at
that hospital to the highest level ever…

    Dana, another ICU nurse, says the number of sick, critically ill
people in her Ventura County hospital has become “overwhelming,”
pushing her facility’s patient census to the highest levels she has
ever seen.

    “It has never been this busy, and none of it is Covid-19,” Dana
says. “We don’t normally see this amount of strokes, aneurysms and
heart attacks all happening at once. … Normally we’ll see six to ten
aortic dissections a year. We’ve seen six in the last month. It’s
crazy. Those have very high rates of mortality.”

Similar scenarios are playing out at countless other hospitals all
across America.

And staffing shortages are likely to continue to intensify, because
one recent survey found that a lot more nurses plan to leave their
posts in the months ahead…

    Two-thirds of nurses surveyed by the American Association of
Critical-Care Nurses said their experiences during the pandemic have
prompted them to consider leaving the field. And 21% of those polled
in a study for the American Nurses Foundation said they planned to
resign within the next six months. Another 29% said they might.

Air travel is another industry that is experiencing unprecedented
nightmares due to severe staffing shortages.

Over the past week, we have literally seen thousands upon thousands of
flights either canceled or delayed due to a lack of workers…

    Although Christmas might be over, holiday travelers won’t be able
to escape the airport chaos on Sunday as 913 US flights have been
canceled and 2,975 more are delayed due to staffing shortages caused
by the COVID Omicron surge.

    The new wave of interruptions comes after nearly 1,000 flights
into, out of or within the US were cancelled on Christmas and more
than 3,000 were delayed.

What a mess.

Sadly, this is a crisis that is not going to be cleared up any time soon.

People are dropping dead all around us, and so worker shortages are
likely to be a major league headache throughout 2022 and beyond.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of the United
States grew at the slowest pace ever recorded during the 12 months
ending on July 1st…

    America’s population grew 0.1% this year, the lowest rate on
record, according to Census Bureau figures released Tuesday that show
how the pandemic is changing the country’s demographic contours.

    The U.S. added just 393,000 people in the year that ended July 1
for a total population of 331.9 million.

When the final numbers come out for the full year of 2021, I believe
that they will show a significant population decline for the nation as
a whole.

So many have already died, and countless more will die in 2022.

And of course what we have witnessed so far is just the beginning.

Our society is in the process of collapsing all around us, and now we
have gotten to a point where even our most basic services are starting
to fail.

I wish that I could tell you that 2022 is going to be better, but I
can’t do that, because it wouldn’t be the truth.
