In case you haven't figured it out yet, your style of blowhard shaming generally doesn't work here...
Why did you make up a ridiculous anecdote?
and of course Texas cut off ue benefits. Now explain how that impacted employment and wages.

Like everything. Capitalism is the worst economic system, except for all the others.
At least in capitalism private business (and individuals) has some power to stand up to government power. Look what happens when the same people control the levers of power of both government and business. Nothing good. Corruption at best, totalitarianism at worst.

By "free money" I mean money from the government that they give you when you are unemployed, and you do not have to work at any job to receive. Perhaps I could have been clearer about that.
Unemployment insurance is paid by employers, not employees; its part of payroll tax. It isn't a savings plan employees contribute to, that can be drawn on later when you are unemployed. I suppose an economist might say wages would be marginally higher if employers didn't have to pay it, so in that sense it could have been given to the employee instead.
It look likes the crap is coming from you...
I sure as heck wouldn't want to buy a machine that was assembled by those white collar workers!
I have lots of friends who own bars and restaurants too. They didn’t have a shortage of workers because they adapted. Bigger chain restaurants did have problems because people didn’t want to work for $2.13 an hour
now, how did cutting off ue benefits early positively impact the people that were receiving them?
I'm not following. Does having a college degree suddenly make you unable to turn a wrench?
It's possible they wouldn't do it as well as someone whose career is to do so for many years, professionally. Or to assemble parts in complicated machines, weld, operate machinery to perform tasks, ...I'm not following. Does having a college degree suddenly make you unable to turn a wrench?

No, it does not. But would you buy a truck that was assembled by Ford's office employees who've never turned a wrench or even observed an auto assembly line?I'm not following. Does having a college degree suddenly make you unable to turn a wrench?
Or ones assembled in the US vs Canada vs Mexico vs Japan vs South Korea, etc... real arguments people actually do already have about cars.No, it does not. But would you buy a truck that was assembled by Ford's office employees who've never turned a wrench or even observed an auto assembly line?
50 years ago it might have made a difference. Now though I haven't ever been in a factory where that mattered. It's not like somebody drops a pile of parts on the floor and says build me a car. Every part is barcoded, every fastener is torque controlled by a "smart tool" and on and on. The assembly process is designed and controlled by the salary side not the union side. The salary guys are who trains them to do their job. For a couple days it'll be rough, if this goes on for a couple months it'll be fine.Or ones assembled in the US vs Canada vs Mexico vs Japan vs South Korea, etc... real arguments people actually do already have about cars.
All of those places have people who can turn wrenches, but certain areas have reputations for producing a better product with their wrench-turners.
Just about every full time job that I have had since college has "other duties as assigned" or something similar in the job description. Employers can get by with assigning other duties on a short time basis. They start to run afoul when they become a regularly long term part of the job.No but if I am hired by a company to be an accountant that's the job they hired me for. I didn't apply and get hired to put together equipment. Just my opinion, I enjoy working on equipment but that's not what you hired me for.
Sounds like there is an injunction against the union that is limiting them to 8 picketers near Deere property in Davenport. No idea if that applies to other sites.

Some tasks are easily-replaceable, certainly. But I'm not buying that most of Deere's workforce does jobs as simple as turning wrenches all the time.
I would suggest you read the two links below. The federal unemployment benefits money was administered through the states, as an addition to the state-provided unemployment benefit.That's only for the money that Texas provides, not the extra money provided by the Fed.
You can try to spin your restaurant story any way you want, dude.
The CARES Act established the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) program to allow people who had exhausted their unemployment compensation benefits to receive up to 13 additional weeks of benefits, provided they "are able to work, available to work, and actively seeking work.
