While I agree with you, we are paying people to stay home. The service industry took a huge hit with that

Plus, most people can't pass a drug test.

I have to do a urinalysis for my new position. Apparently, 9 figure folks don't want potheads making their drinks. Thank goodness I have reformed.

I'm betting on China. The 21st Century Competition will be won by China.

Normally, I'd think it was absurd, but it's a ultra high-end private club in a ski town. I reckon they only want the best of the best - but they'll have to settle for me.

Congrats.

I’ve worked more closely with US Railroads for over three decades than I would ever wish on my worst enemy.

They are, as a group, simply indefensible from a user standpoint.

It is insane. My supplier said I could pay a 5,000.00 surcharge per container and if I did he still couldn't guarantee it would ship any sooner. Told him, yea that makes sense.

I’ve called several restaurants trying to book Mother’s Day brunch. Two said they were booked because limited capacity...not due to Covid restrictions but because they have no employees. And these are nice places.

shite going down

Could be a shortage of gas this summer, as more and more former truckers refuse to come back to work. Trucking industry is at it;s knees, they are begging people.

And several big trucking companies around the globe are having slow downs because of employee strikes.


Chicken wings supplies are down
Fresh Catfish fillets are scarce, majority of distribs are getting no shipments from suppliers.

Other shite soon to follow. Bidens legacy will go down in the record books.

Nah. All the other stuff you listed could happen, but gas won't be in short supply. Someone up and down the supply chain will be paying to make sure that doesn't happen.

I'm assuming you are talking about the Asian catfish. If so, don't mention that it's "fresh".

People didn’t vote them in this past time.


When there is no voting integrity and mysterious middle of the night dumps exactly where they need them and only in places they control after people inexplicably stop counting, it doesn’t matter how the people vote.

We need that Delta poster to come let us know what’s up.
I’m assuming it’s a labor shortage as much as anything else for a USA product
