MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle is sick and tired of hearing restaurant owners complain about having difficulty finding employees who’d rather work than collect unemployment benefits.
Seriously, enough already. She’s had it with you people:
To every restaurant owner who “can’t find workers bc people are getting paid too much to stay at home”…please join me on @RuhleOnMSNBC to discuss how you spent both rounds of FORGIVEABLE PPP loans & the $28+bn being distributed from American Rescue Plan.#paymore

To be fair, it’s very difficult for Stephanie Ruhle to see reality from way up there in her ivory tower.
Stephanie only likes CEOs who fly her around on the company plane. https://t.co/yWS5MlO1LH

You can't be this clueless, can you? https://t.co/nLAUZxijVI

Sure she can.
For starters their governments forced them to either shut down or operate at a capacity that if they were lucky was enough to barely pay the bills. They didn't get to draw a full paycheck from home this entire time like you. https://t.co/0OyDLYKtp1

I tweeted this a year ago about a local restaurant owner I know. Don't be surprised when people accuse you of living in a bubble when you demonstrate that very fact on a daily basis. https://t.co/CVLHHu5AFQ

"You got two whole rounds of PPP loans, didn't you?" is the new "You got insurance, don't ya?".

The people who parroted "stay home, stay safe" for a solid year never stopped for one second to think about any of the consequences of such a strategy, mainly because they were insulated from most of them.

As long as Stephanie Ruhle isn’t suffering, who cares about everyone else?
The *maximum* amount a sole proprietor could get in PPP loans was $20,833.
One person drawing unemployment at the average rate during the pandemic made ~ $50,000.
You should be talking to people refusing to return to work, not business owners taking losses just to stay open. https://t.co/aVRgEAzwbX

MSNBC going after small businesses that can't afford to pay people more than the government is. https://t.co/K8cZEfQHpZ

the former Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank lady’s attempt to rebrand as a minimum wage crusader is going exactly as you’d expect, including dunking on struggling small businesses with a “cadillac queens” line. https://t.co/xq76gebeX4

They absolutely hate small business owners, they'd rather you all die out and just have apple bees on every corner
She doesn't even know what the PPP was for lmfaooooo, these propagandists will throw normal average ppl under the bus so they can suck the Biden admin's dick https://t.co/wMU4kCIXac

You wanna talk, Stephanie? Are you sure?
I am happy to talk. Let me know.

She might not like what some restaurant owners have to say.
All these comments reflect the ignorance restaurant owners face that we are rolling in the dough, our profit margins top at 3% if we are lucky, without paying ourselves first. I lost some valuable employees because no, I couldn’t compete with over $800 a week at my small taqueria

I am in upstate NY, all these memes about $7.00 an hour are just not true. Our minimum wage is $12.50, I pay $12.50-$15.00 an hour. We are getting beat up! We went from hero to zero during this pandemic my head is spinning. We were cut off at our knees and are trying to get up.

And condescending elitists like Stephanie Ruhle want to keep pushing you down.
