Is There a Labor Shortage or Does No One Want to Work Your Terrible Jobs?
If you check social media lately you'll see that businesses have been posting signs saying that no one has been showing up for their shifts at different restaurants and no one wants to work anymore. Republican governors have been cutting extra unemployment benefits because they want to incentivize people to get back to work who have been getting a little too comfortable with that extra $300 dollar payout during the pandemic. Is there more to the story? Are people hesitant to return to work sectors that left them high and dry the very minute they showed signs of trouble? Are people now demanding a little more from employers after they've shown what they're willing to do when times get tough? That's what we discuss on today's episode of Acts of Pod.

History of Conspiracy Theory as Political Tool or They're Coming for Your Hamburgers!
If you haven't heard, the radical left is coming for you and your way of life. They want to cancel your children's books, they want to take away your guns, and worst of all, limit your red meat intake to 4 pounds a year. Where is this threat coming from exactly? Great question! Can I see the data on that, is there an article or even something coming out of the White House stating their intentions? Nope. But sometimes you have to read in between the lines and intuit what's "really" going on and this has been going on in American politics from the beginning which is why we're covering some of the best historical conspiracy theories to see what they have in common with contemporary theories (quite a bit).

Voter Suppression Bills or Block the Vote the Sequel
You would think as we are still fighting the pandemic and dealing with the fallout from quarantine, that state governments would be focusing on education, employment, or healthcare. There is so much need and healing in this country you would hardly know where to start but republican legislatures knew exactly where to start, voter suppression bills. There are literally hundreds of voter suppression bills making it more difficult for people to vote up in 47 states as we speak. We cover some of the common elements of these bills so you can know what to look for in your state. Good luck out there.
