Political cartoonists Ted Rall and Scott Stantis go long this time. Millions of Americans are quitting their jobs because they hate them. But why now?

    Biggest question: How many of the 4 million are women (or men) who are able to quit because spouse has kept the job and all the income (more or less) from the second job was being eaten up in costs associated with that job (transportation, child care, bought lunches at work because you’re too tired to make lunch, etc.) anyway, but the extent of this wasn’t realized until lockdown. “Holy Hell! When I add it all up, I’m only making about $3,000 a year.”
    And, correction: Bill Clinton wasn’t a Democrat.
