      All while real wages are rising and inflation is back down.

      I wonder how much of it is related to the end of the student loan moratorium.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        Talk to real people and I think you'll find that inflation has been so bad, the rise in real wages does not begin to dig them out of a hole.

        Just as a minor example...The buzz around my community lately was the price of potatoes at Walmart... $13 and change for a ten pound bag. That gripe competes with guys talking about the price of a new pickup.

          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.

                  $13? Wow. $7 for 10 lbs at Kroger here. $9 at Walmart.

                    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.
