Our billionaire governor is citing a supposed worker shortage as the reason to pull the right out from under people & get rid of extra UI benefits & he is SO FULL of bullshit.

The unemployment rate here is 3.8%, close to half of the US unemployment rate.
We. Are. Working. Some of us more than 1 job.
We DO have a worker shortage but it has NOTHING to do with the GOP narrative that says no one wants to work.

There's no housing. The median House price in various MT cities (ie, where jobs are):
Bozeman: $615k
Missoula: $419k+
Kalispell: $390k+
Billings: $359k
Bozeman: $615k
Missoula: $419k+
Kalispell: $390k+
Billings: $359k
Montana median household income: ~57k
In order for people making 57k to afford a house, the price would need to be less than 270k.
Where do we find houses in MT less than 275k where we can also make >57k? (missoulacurrent.com/business/2021/…)

Rent in our town in Gallatin Co. for a 3 bed townhouse is 2000+, closer to 3k for houses or new apartments.
Where are the workers who make $16 an hour supposed to live, @GovGianforte?

And let's chat about childcare.
$1200+ a month per kid. Gallatin has only 33% of the.cjikdcare we need for every adult to be working.
How many of that 3.8% not working are 1 parent staying home w/ kids cuz they can't afford or can't find childcare?

And the MT GOP not only refused to address thw affordable childcare shortage, they actually tried TAKING AWAY the few programs we have for workers to obtain childcare.
They did everything they could to make it harder for the working class to work & thrive, & now they're taking away the last remaining thing helping some people survive & stay here in MT. All while furthering their narrative that people are lazy & don't want to work.
Yes, we have a worker shortage & it has NOTHING to do with handouts, you rich, selfish bastards in charge of our state.
the workers are leaving, being pushed out by wealthy remote working folks who can afford 600k houses & the GOP is assisting this process well.

I swear to Zeus, Montana working class, I have no idea why you won't wise up and see how these carpetbaggers & Copper Kings are fleecing you. They think you're stupid enough to vote against your interests if they scream about abortion & trans folks.
Are they right?
Are they right?
