    We're still having a hard time finding people to interview. We had a technician position open, and had one applicant, who we reached out to in the first place.

    I was only joking

      Is that because the regional economy is booming?

        If I'm honest, I don't really know why it's like this. Economic reports don't imply that we're booming here, but actual hiring actual people is tough. I spoke to the guy working in the cafeteria, and they can't get staff for love nor money.

              Could be shipping, I dunno. That, and I'm ignorant of how Walmart sets prices. I do know you can see some variation between stores.

                They're offering 80-90K for the technician job.

                                      I dunno...inventory at all price points is crazy low, but someone in that income range should be able to get a decent little house in the $250-275k range.... at least in much of Connecticut. (of course, pre-covid these were $150-180K houses)

                                        Three years ago, a conventional (30 year) 80% mortgage on that house would have cost you about $1137 a month.

                                        Today, the same loan is $1746. More than $7,000 a year more.

                                          We’re setting oil production records under Biden.

                                          U.S. oil production is forecast to average an all-time high of 12.8 million barrels a day this year and keep growing to 13.1 million in 2024, the federal Energy Information Administration said in its latest forecast. That’s up from the most recent trough of 5 million barrels a day in 2008, and probably enough to help the U.S. to keep its title as the No. 1 global crude oil producer.

                                          But what about federal lands?

                                          In fact, though, oil production from federal lands and waters has risen on Biden’s watch, reaching past 3 million barrels per day last year. The high mark during President Donald Trump’s term was 2.75 million barrels a day.

                                          Only non-witches get due process.
