1. There is a lot more influencing the current economic climate than shutdowns. 2. The most severe shutdowns were in the early stages of the pandemic, under President Trump and a Republican Senate. Not sure why you are laying the blame entirely at the feet of those who “lean left”. 3. During those same shutdowns, the companies laying people off today went on hiring sprees. That wasn’t the decision of the employees being hired, it was the decision of management at the company. So even if it is true that this economy was inevitable due to the pandemic, and that anyone should have been able to see it, then the responsibility lies with those who chose not to act accordingly but instead overhire, which again, is management.
