Who was it that went after "family" and worked real hard to make sure we had a LOT of kids roaming around with no family? Even for those who choose to make kids and then end up being the only one supporting them they have choices. They can choose to make more poor choices, or they can choose to work hard to better themselves. Sadly a lot choose to wail for gov to care for them.
Yep! We can't have people making responsible choices and actually being accountable for the poor choices they make as adults. We NEED an ever larger government to take care of them from cradle to grave. All they have to do is give up things like family and rights, and we have utopia. Just look how well its worked in other countries, er wait. Well it did not work at all BUT we are so smart we will do it right this time, right?
Why don't people simply opt to not suffer medical emergencies that deliver them into financial insolvency regardless of whether or not they have insurance.Yep!

Just keep beating that drum that this time the gov will be all powerful and we will all live great lives.
When bitcoin first came on the scene I wanted to toss a C note at it. I fully expected I would be flushing the money but figured why not. Back then it was beyond my abilities and I was not willing to jump through hoops to learn how to do it. Looking back now I missed a wining lotto ticket for sure.The good news is maybe a few less suckers will decide to put money in crypto.

YES! I am really sick of being called in on days off, called in early, asked to stay late. All because they can't find people who want to work. That should soon stop being such a problem.I'm still looking for the positive spin on this.
Business leader optimism hits record low amid soaring inflation, labor shortages
Business leaders surveyed by JPMorgan Chase have never been more worried as optimism hits a record low mainly tied to high inflation and labor shortages.
Edit: One positive might be that recruitment and retention of employees might get easier as layoffs grow.
What kind of work are you in? The wife's job doesn't pay a lot. She's middle management and we've done fine, as far as we're concerned, over the 30+ years we've been together. The people they hire at the store make $15.00 and change to start. Wifey only makes about $6.00 more. She has to deal with the same thing you're talking about. These jobs don't require a high school diploma. These jobs don't require anything special, more than a functioning brain. It's an every-damn-day thing for people to call out. It takes a lot of work and documentation to fire them. And if they do, fire them, there's no one to take their place! I don't know where these people get their money, because it sure as hell ain't from showing up for their shifts every day!YES!

Work in Health Care. Pay is good, benefits are the best I have ever seen in my life. I get 8 weeks a year in paid time off, excellent medical. People start out with 6 weeks a year. Biggest problem is this state passed a law couple years back that makes it so people can call in all they want if they have hours. So its all but impossible to fire anyone now.
Your wife sounds underpaid for the work she does.
did you buy actual silver metal or an IOU at some exchange backed by notional silver?When bitcoin first came on the scene I wanted to toss a C note at it. I fully expected I would be flushing the money but figured why not. Back then it was beyond my abilities and I was not willing to jump through hoops to learn how to do it. Looking back now I missed a wining lotto ticket for sure.
Now? It scares me too much to start sinking any real money into it. Decided to just buy some silver. That of course may make me a few bucks or lose a few. Never going to be a wining lotto ticket but has been kind of fun.
Eeewwee. With dirty sick people? If you're in the trenches, you are an angel.Work in Health Care. Pay is good, benefits are the best I have ever seen in my life.

I keep saying we need a good crash to make it so people will want to come to work again.
I hear you there. Right after the great lock down hoax finally came to an end a LOT of people were job shifting. Basically two giants here in healthcare. The bidding wars were on for a while. Jumping ship get REAL tempting for me too. Wife and I live quite comfortably so I just hunkered down and stayed. Figuring the "crap" would not be any different at the completion. If I worked up in King Co I would make a LOT more money but, have to work in what is rapidly becoming a damn war zone. Little old for that crap now.
Home prices, in my area at least, have no dropped far enough to compensate for interest rates.Good news if you are going to be buying a home.
Homebuyers are canceling deals at the highest rate since the start of the pandemic
Higher mortgage rates and overall inflation are causing potential homebuyers to reconsider their purchases.
As the rates rise, which is going to have to happen, that will dampen the market. If the rates double or triple it will really put the market in a spin. Anyone with any brains knew this print free money could not end well but, sure was fun for a while.
