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

It's not just supplies that are driving the inflation bus. It's also costs are being passed down to the consumer. Increased fuel costs, labor costs etc. The big guys never lose its us schmucks who do. Dire straights if a 76 winter walks in the door in the Midwest

Yesterday I was shopping. I was amazed at the prices for even the most banal items but especially at the price of good cuts of meat. Absurd. Ground beef: +10.6% Steaks: +22.1% Bacon: +19.3% Steak: +19.2% Chicken: +17.1% Fish: +10.7% Eggs: +12.6% Peanut Butter: +6.2% Apples: + 7.8% Ham: +7% Baby food: +4.4%

Better hope it's a mild winter. Man the shit has hit the fan economically wise. Prices are through the roof on everything. Can't be all pandemic. https://apnews.com/article/business-prices-inflation-28e1231bdb445d482bb2d2e25dff1983
