I’m sure it’s just me, but I don’t know a lot of unemployed people. The company I work for hired 155 folks last quarter. I’ve been unemployed for 7 years now

I took the service road from 121 south on the DNT. Drove by the Lexus and the Mercedes store. Neither had any new cars that I could see.
I can tell you that diesel truck prices dropped 5k across the board 90 days ago.
Couple weeks ago I joked with a cashier at Market Street about the high prices of everything. This is a sharp older lady that has worked there forever. She told me the only single thing that she noticed hadn't gone up in price was alcohol. That's make you think a little.

the Supply problem is probably here to stay. We don't have small business people to start up and people to work we get most of our stuff from china and they can hold us hostage for as long as they choose

Institute a "work or starve" system and supply chain issues would disappear.
Physical/medical exams. If you are above 18, below 65, and physically able you get zero government benefits. Maybe you can beg your way through life, otherwise you sleep on the street and fight the raccoons for food in trash cans unless you work. Sure, let’s just become a full blown communist nation. Screw freedom. What the heck? Not giving taxpayer money to able bodied people who refuse to work is "communism"? That's hilarious. Redistribution of wealth is capitalism and freedom. Working for salaries and wages that improve one's life is communism. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" is literally Karl Marx's slogan. I'm not sure if you are serious.

I think they have it figured out, I ordered a spring and retainer for an air stapler in March and got the spring in about a week.The retainer showed up yesterday. So, yeah, it's fixed.

We will. Fertilizer will be an issue (Ukraine) and that will have a direct impact on food next year. It is my understanding that farmers typically buy fertilizer a year in advance.
Denmark and what they are doing to farmers will impact us all (see Jordan Peterson video on this).
I'm not doom and gloom but I believe we are in for some really rocky times. I believe this will get much worse before it gets better.
I own a glass business and we have seen lead times go down but prices have remained high.

There is still a chance that Rail Road might go on strike.
