Blaming the handouts

Hi all, Browsing the posts on antiwork it looks like a trend is for companies that are struggling to find staff are blaming ‘handouts’ as the reason. I’m not from the US so my understanding is probably way off, but I thought that only 2 stimulus checks were sent during the pandemic, which if that’s true how can they be blamed for a company struggling to fill roles? Less than $3000 (my understanding of the amount, please correct me if I’m wrong) doesn’t sound like retirement money to me, is this a common belief amongst companies/bosses or is it simply a scapegoat they can use for the fact that people just don’t want to work for them? Thanks all
