    So you're either bullshitting like a good right wing minion or you truly believe the bullshit the right is telling you.

    Will the war on Christmas be such a big deal this year, Bill O'Rilley is still on "retirement"?

    I don't know if you can view the following video or not but it's been pretty prevalent in the news lately...and I don't even watch TV news. But I do read and check out links. As much as I disagree with Mika's politics I will view clips from their show. I'll add some of the text below the link to the video in case you can't view it though.

    “you wouldn’t believe it,” but this Thanksgiving “is shaping up to be the most expensive meal in the history of the holiday.” ... due to the “supply chain crisis, trade policies, labor shortages, weather, and inflation” ... “The grocery store, right now, I mean everything is up,” Brezinski said. “I was going shopping for my daughter and I’m like ok, this is even different from a few months ago. Things are going [up]…the prices on everything.”

    I hesitate to respond but what are people "rethinking?" What "rat race" are they leaving?

    I mean, if you are talking about their jobs (and by extension that's why things aren't moving and shelves are empty), then how will most folks survive? How does one survive in a world in which he refuses to work?

    Ok, I know the media is saying the prices are going up... I see that. I am asking if you have a view on what policies of the executive branch have caused it?

    Many are starting their own businesses, making do with less, becoming stay at home parents instead of two income houses.

    Low level entry jobs and service industry jobs are going w/o employees because so many of us Boomers retired, many of us earlier than planned due to the pandemic. So that opened up better-paying jobs for everyone else down the job food chain. Why would you work as a server or at Walmart, when you could work in an office for more pay, better hours, better benefits?

    We don't have a huge number of manufacturing jobs up here where we are, but the ones we do have have been hiring like crazy. One waitress gal I know who was laid off during the pandemic last year said fuck it to working as a server and is now working for the post office. Better hours, more money.

    And if you're not it's because either you're a lazy fuck if you're a POC, or some POC took your great job so you got stuck with a crappy one.
