Everything is STILL on back order. Everyplace is STILL short staffed. Nobody can find anyone to hire. Price of everything is going up, but people aren't going back to work? Before Covid, everything.....worked. Since Covid, everything is decrepit.

I went to Walmart yesterday and I was one of a handful of people without a mask on. Something changed and I did not get the memo...

Incompetence and being on welfare pays too good.
Why change anything when you can slack off and everyone thinks it's OK? |

It's not the govt. spending us into oblivion, it's the "supply chain". It's all your fault for wanting stuff and buying stuff. Lower your expectations, take your Soma, and all will be well.

The govt is asking people if they still need rent assistance
one tenant got 4K the other got 7K that goes a LONG way when all you must worry about is food and fun budget. then bring in the increased pay to recruit more workers. this means they need toi work less hours to make the minimum to stay living |

I was in the San Diego airport today. They were still broadcasting messages to stay 6’ apart. There were a few mask retards; but not many.

Before covid we had employees working part time making $500+ take home, which was good money for part time. When Michigan shuttered our business, these employees got to sit at home for 4+ months, and got $900 a week.
When we reopened they didn't want to come back. Last we heard, they were running only fans channels.. Democrats got the dependent society they wanted... |

Pretty much every large manufacturer had moved to Just in Time (JIT).
For JIT to work, everything it depends on needs to work. If one thing stops working, JIT stops working. If many thing stop working, well you get what we have now. To get JIT working again, everything is going to have to start working normally again. |

The owners are back on course. |

A lot of people stopped working. It will only get worse as we go over the demographic cliff.

Part of Los Angeles still has a rent moratorium. They are discussing it this week. The tenets are fighting for more "protection" while the landlords want them out so they can attract paying customers. It's crazy.

Quoted: Same in my area. They're all wearing masks again. Apparently I didn't get it either.

COVID ain't over. In the last month I know close to a dozen people who got COVID.
Three got their asses kicked (one was unvaxxed, 2 vaxxed). Nobody died. The rest was no big deal (vaxxed), but they sure as shit caught it. As to masks - if you haven't noticed by now - a certain demo wears masks all the time when in public. That's not going away. As to prices, we all got robbed while this was going on, and they bribed the people's to not have to work. Why work, if everything just magics in place anyway? |

I'm still recovering from covid 18 days later. My wife, 3 year old and 9 month old got absolutely fucking destroyed by it.
My kids fought it off in a few days. Wife and I who are vaxed got fucked big time by it. |

The retarded asshole that caused the traffic jam is gone, but the effects ripple down the road for a while.

China is mostly in lockdown due to Covid . There goes your supply chain. We are also still dealing with random tariffs imposed because someone’s daughter couldn’t get a patent in china.

Contrary to what politicians and some CEOs (not all) say, you can't shut down the world economy and flip a switch to have it back to normal overnight.

It's funny isn't it. I was on a business trip last week in Alameda and was sitting out in the hotel courtyard having dinner and a couple drinks. I overhear a couple guys asking this exact question - where the fuck is everyone? Nobody wants to work. I eavesdropped enough to hear that these guys were distributors for Grainger. They were saying they put out work wanted ads locally and online for decent wages in their area, they get no responses. If they get any, it's all older people. They were saying "the work ethic in this coming generation doesn't exist."
I wanted to ask how they voted but decided not to butt in. I heard all I needed to. |

View Quote By the way, I can't be the only one who remembers that right before Covid happened, right when Antifa and BLM were starting to riot places, there were some states and municipalities that wanted to make it illegal to wear a face mask in public. Constitutionality aside, it was obvious that there were repeat offenders in all of these groups, hiding their identity in plain sight. Boom, covid, now everybody wear your masks, and now we won't discuss why these leftist rioters are hiding their identity in public while destroying communities and threatening people |
