And if you want, just go back 4 years and you will see the beginning of inflated prices/shortages in the US.
Humm?
Let's see what happened then?
Oh, that's right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Asshole put a 20% "tariff" on Chinese products, not Vietnam/Cambodia/S, Korea
So, sure the Chinese are going to succumb to The Mighty Trump & say So Sorry (Chinese inflection :) )
Nope
They said fuck you & stopped buying American (ask a soybean farmer)
And the "Tariff" simply became a cost increase passed onto the consumer
Bingo!!!!!!!
Goods cost more & were harder to find.
Check it out, the cost of consumer goods & the rate of inflation since that curse upon Humankind started this shit with China.
Then the minor issue of COVID-19 entered the picture
A Perfect Storm for the American consumer.

FUCKING BIDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF HE NEVER WAS BORN, THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE SHOULD HAVE HAD AN ABORTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and I'll bet it's been said.

Ya our healthcare system is being battened by people off work with covid. It’s not over.

I guess not. We had a break for a while. I ran out of covid test kits and no one is talking about boosters at work. They took down the temperature log in and we only use the honor system to swipe in . Still masks for everyone and I haven’t had a covid positive patient in like a month or heard of any in the hospital right now. I hope it stays that way .

I consider myself pretty lucky so far, knock on wood. Fully expected that it would get brought home from school, kids are germ factories. Going back into the office as well sometimes and my wife works in a medical field so is around people all day. Lots in all those places have come down with it in the past six months but we have been alright thus far.

First time I drove in to Estes I saw a huge ram and woke up to elk and mule deer in the yard. First elk I’ve ever seen, then we had to chase them away from our golf balls lol.

I was there every other day; a bunch of cars got caught by a herd of elk that broke down some fencing to walk across the road and graze. Of course the herd followed and let me tell you they weren't a-budging..after about 10 minutes patrol comes by and hits them with the horn and the all ran back. Those pull over spots and deer come near the car.

How can you not be in awe of reality?

This is so true and all the economists were saying in case you couldn't put 1+1 together..it gets passed on to us..all of it..high prices and empty shelves.

Good time to buy American (or your country)..pay more but I can find what I'm looking for hiding in different local shops. And the quality is better + I can easily get replacement if bad. I don't buy chachkies, I'm a minimalist.

Covid-19: What do we know about the delta omicron recombinant variant?
A combination of the delta (AY.4) and BA.1 omicron variants has been named by the World Health Organization as the BA.1 x AY.4 recombinant. First detected in France in January 2022, it has since picked up the nickname “deltacron”

Recombinants can emerge when multiple variants infect the same person at the same time, allowing the variants to interact during replication, mix up their genetic material, and form new combinations. These events become more likely when cases are higher—an important consideration, as covid-19 cases worldwide have once again started to rise after several weeks of decline.2

Maria Van Kerkhove, the World Health Organization’s covid-19 technical lead, said in a post on social media,3 “[This is] what happens when we allow the virus to circulate at such an intense level. The virus continues to evolve and more variants are expected. Recombinants are also expected . . . as we have been explaining for a very long time.”

Not the first time trying to blend in as totally average has worked out in my favor.

Did you know that if you put on some dress pants and a button down or polo shirt the cops just call you sir and tell you to have a nice day? It's incredible.

Yup. Assuming you're not making fun of me, was caught in a speed trap..average works, yes sir and no sudden movement? You don't need to be white. By the time he's walking up to your window, he already knows all about you..he's run your tag. Just be nice even if you were at fault- trust me, he wants to leave..catch a bad person, not deal with your 10 over the limit.

Colorado is in UPTICK status and I agree with article which is why I still mask up in crowds..Jesus we just hit 1M dead..just because the Governors decided to re-open and basically ganged up on Biden?
