I've heard politicians suddenly concerned that we "can't afford" nice things. A year ago, the original covid bill just flat-out gave $170 billion in tax breaks to corporations and the rich. The first $14B just went out. We can afford whatever we want bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The best way to avoid a "labor shortage" is to make sure your employees don't quit in the first place. The best way to do that is to treat them with respect through your actions: compensate them fairly, make sure they don't burn out, treat them as adults. This stuff isn't hard.
