The wife and I went out to lunch yesterday at a place called Oregano's. The hostess was also serving as a waitress as well as busing the tables. The food was OK, but clearly they were running short on staff. I just don't understand how those choosing not to work are surviving.
We working stiffs are subsidizing their laziness. No, we don’t want to, but we don’t have a choice.
The wife & I have discussed this many times, we have no idea either. There must be many times more Youtubers, tictokers, instagramers, Onlyfans, etc. than anyone realizes. I say this because the number of people homeless on the streets doesn’t seem to add up to the number of employees that are missing from the work force. I know a few that are now working for themselves, since being laid off when the government shut everything down.
No idea either. The restaurant business did get hit hard by the 2020 shut downs.
We'll see if those bikes work after China sets of that EMP.
I have a huge faraday cage (all metal workshop) that everything is in. Maybe it works, maybe not, but better than nothing. Worst case scenario, we get out the mountain bikes and go old school.
Been a couple weeks since anyone posted here…
This just seems a little weird to me, the market is showing life because investors are thinking that the Fed's will be cutting interest rates soon. But what's weird is that while the market is moving up, the price of an ounce of gold is at an all time high at over $2,000.
I'm sure others have mentioned it, but the sound bites coming out of the White House saying inflation is decreasing is disingenuous. Just because inflation may now be at 6% (purely a guess on my part) doesn't mean it's scaled back the cost of everything from the 8 to 10% earlier this year and last, it only means prices are going up at a slower rate. Too bad no one's income isn't going up at the same rate. And this is spot on, " I personally believe that things are being manipulated in an attempt to salvage the Democrats election chances next year. " Of course, all the socialists will disagree as Washington continues to print money backed by absolutely nothing.
I am done canning for the year. but have enough canned potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, zucchini and others frozen or dehydrated. all good till next year.
We can all year long. We try to can and dehydrate everything instead of relying on the freezer. She roasted 2 turkeys and I cooked 1 on our egg today, hope to do the other 5 tomorrow. Then it will all get pulled, mixed together and canned up sunday and monday. All the carcasses will go in pots to make stock and get canned tuesday and wednesday. Then we get a break till after Christmas, when we start grinding wild game and can that too.
You are right. I will can stocks. throughout the winter. I can potatoes and also have a ton saved in basement. some will be seed potatoes for next year. some eaten.
I think I’ve said this before.
