Anyone who makes an argument based on something and backs it up with one data point about something as complicated as labor supply isn't making a full thought out argument.
The argument your making is that the US stimulus checks are so great that business just can't compete with laziness. Yet the total cumulative stimulus is less then the poverty line. If business can pay someone above that line than maybe there labor is better spent elsewhere or at least that time with there families.
Now that's harsh but that's the way that your argument comes across. Now the original post balances with reason by saying stimulus has given people room to not work at low paying jobs but it's not necessary because they are lazy but because they jobs they work suck and pay like crap. Hence the reason business will raise wages because that is the major problem. Working retail where people are rude and mean is not pleasant and if you want people to deal with unpleasant people you have to pay them more
