Ha, yeah, where I'm at there's barely any Monster left...except the shitty flavors like orange or grape, but none of the traditional blue or green cans. We also have tons of regular sugar Red Bull, but none of the sugar-free kind. Also keep in mind that the shit is way too overpriced -- like, I'm talkin $5 for a can of Red Bull.
They can't give up even a tiny sliver of power. They're so power hungry, that they're willing to destroy everything if it means that they can amass even a tiny morsel more of power, and they're so selfish that they want to do it within their lifetimes.
Who says subjective opinions can't be objectively wrong?
Good lord what job and what part of the country?
I wouldn't be shocked if all these fast food places that closed indoor dining aren't hiring. Most people will just wait in a long drive through line to get their fix.
Number of vaccinated will probably slightly rise as the mandates keep being handed down/JoePedo makes it an actual executive order (sure is funny how he hasn't yet) but not by more than a few percentage points. People don't want that shit, and plenty of people who are "officially" vaccinated might be lying with fake cards or even convincing a nurse to write them an official one. People just don't want that shit.
Yes, that's right. All the big local printers in my area have severe paper shortages. Some say that they're spending more time looking for paper than actually printing on it.
Just lol at all the candy and cereal sold out. "Make sure to stock up on essentials!" *buys a ten year supply of candy and frosted flakes*
Its because it's not about vaccinations. The global economy died last year and now they are desperately trying to revive it while simultaneously attempting to keep its shambling corpse moving. They need fear of COVID to justify what is honestly a wartime level omnibus spending package.
I've seen all the mickey d's signs saying things like hiring at $18/hr, but is there any truth to it? Are people really getting paychecks like that or is it a one-time bonus kind of thing before dropping back down to $7.25 or whatever?
I have no idea what the fuck is going on to make my area so insulated from all this shit. While there are some places that have instituted pay increases, the only thing that I'm really noticing shortages of is canned pet food, and that's more because of the aluminum shortages. I'm seeing price increases but I'm being completely honest when I say that nothing has gone up by 10%. For example, the bread I buy went from 2 dollars a loaf to 2.10. Can't speak for meat since I really only buy chicken from Sam's
I haven’t had shortages in my area. It’s the most extreme example most fast food or other minimum wage jobs in my area went from minimum wage ~$7.50-8 to $12-18.
In my area it seems legitimate. I got a pay increase but not quite as dramatic.
I hope it’s that and not inflation.
22.50 / 7.50 = 300%
The Consumer Price Index is not a measure of inflation generally. The CPI deliberately excludes goods that are prone to high inflation in order to understate inflation, for mostly political reasons. Real inflation is (and always has been) much higher than the CPI, and is increasing more rapidly now than at any time since the advent of the CPI (~1980).22.50 / 7.50 = 300%
12-month percentage change in CPI = 5.4%
It's not inflation. No one wants to work a shit job for shit pay.

A lot of these places are only giving part time hours. Best Buy raised their starting wage to $15 an hour then fired a bunch of full time employees and slashed hours for those remaining.
My Pay Rate is going up by 2 dollars an hour starting this pay cycle.
