Oh dude that really sucks. Sorry man. Yea hand feeding is so risky. Damnit

Yep get the feeling nobody gives a shit anymore. All Govt is a major nightmare to deal with.

You are ridiculous

Lol open your window and put in a fan geezuz what has become of people

Lol wut? Ever hear of a window fan with temps from 9 pm to 10 am under 65? What a waste of energy

Notice each one of those sectors are hiring but having trouble finding people. Where did the people go? Certainly is an enigma.

We consumed less, traveled less, had less expensive toys. Different era

Read the last line on each paragraph about the difference from Feb 2020.

If you go down that CPI pdf and look at individual items that you need to survive and commodities like paper goods and laundry supplies your costs increased much more than the 5% adjusted inflation. Big ticket q, forgetaboutit

Another Govt **** up placing 33 hours as when employers need to offer health care. Employers play that game everywhere. Obviously small businesses can't afford it but there needs to be a universal solution for working people based on income. The affordable care act isn't affordable if you make over 35k a year. It's a joke

Those numbers are spot on by the way. Don't even know who that guy is but you carry on with your delusions.

Where was 2020 a lot less? Food? Goods?

But then reality sets in. I encouraged my kids to get a trade job if college wasn't their thing. I also showed them what hard work was. Not everyone is the same and not everyone can code. Having many skills including how to budget, fix a leak, take care of others and life skills carry you a long way. Reality is a bitch

Agree totally. Politicians are the worst. Lobbying kills. But still better than Forkys dictator taking care of his cronies while the rest suffer. Reality is a bitch.

The annual inflation rate in the US edged up to a 13-year high of 5.4% in September of 2021 from 5.3% in August and above market expectations of 5.3%. Main upward pressure came from cost of shelter (3.2% vs 2.8% in August); food (4.6% vs 3.7%, the highest since December of 2011), namely food at home (4.5% vs 3%); new vehicles (8.7% vs 7.6%); and energy (24.8% vs 25%)

So it's not capitalism that is failing as Forks says it's socialism? You obviously don't understand how capitalistic societies also can help the underprivileged members by enabling them to move upward through job training, financial assistance while times are tough. Welfare was not created to be a lifelong job it was created to assist until people could get back on their feet. What we need is more opportunities for the downtrodden. But we also need motivation to work not just handing out money, there has to be a string attached.

Apparently hard working jobs are below the upcoming work force. All the coding jobs are full

Really because if you left your protected lair and actually went out in society you would find those numbers very close to reality.

Capitalism is still king. Politicians and lack of leadership during the pandemic have created a lot of these problems. Thinking Govt can spend its way out of crisis and all will be OK is crazy. History will show that political decisions excaberated everything

My daughter's private school where she is a special ed teacher pays 22 an hour for a custodian. Yea city pays 13 but they will have to come up. I fought long and hard for may janitorial staff to get raises. I only partially succeeded. People just don't respect hard work until they have to do it themselves. I would pay them a lot more.

Lol if you think socialism is the answer. Failed every where.

Have you looked? Schools are paying janitors 18 to 22 an hour. Huge bonuses for new hires. We aren’t talking mickey ds. It is time to start paying people but you know what. The owners don't absorb those costs you and I do.

Agree and by the end your 2 cents will cost you a dime

Picture your highest volume lift being down all day MLK day with 12 new and full sun. You won't ever catch up that day. Now picture the Christmas holidays and the mad rush to buy goods. That added bulk of skiers just crammed everything back up. We are screwed, no leadership at all either
