    Fluctuations

    More truck drivers needed to deliver products . There is also a slow down of products shipped from China. Went to pick up lunch from Italian Bistro got a note along with my food saying prices are fluctuating due to food shortages . I guess people noticed different prices between short periods of time. You don't expect to buy pizza for 30 bucks one day and same pizza 35 for next day.

    Also odd went to Wendys and Popeyes on different days and they both were not accepting credit cards. There are also many vacant shelves, finally able to buy some toilet paper today.

    They definitely need more truck drivers.

    Plenty of shit being shipped from China.

    The problem is that there is a huge backlog of container ships at U.S. ports.

    This is what it looks like at the port of long Beach in California.

    Just open wide and say "Thank you, Joe Biden". After that you can add "Let's go Brandon!"

    Is there anything Biden can do to help the situation.


    All I have seen is sending child tax credits out early.

    The sign on his desk probably says, “the buck starts here…blame Trump”

    Actually, a lot of it can be blamed directly on his administration's policies. Employment Vaccine Mandates, Extra unemployment benefits that equal or exceed regular pay, Lockdowns..., inflation, higher gas prices because he killed pipeline deals and transformed the US from a net exporter of petrol to a net importer. Quit spouting bullshit Walter, you're better than this.

    I disagreed with killing the pipeline deal but the pipeline wouldn’t have come online for years.

    The unemployment benefits have expired a d were put in place under Trump.

    Employment vaccine mandates are mostly up to employers, unless they are federal employees.

    Lockdowns determined at the local level.

    You got any more false Fox News bullshit I can easily shoot down?

    if i was a truck driver and my job is so in demand that I can pick and choose who to work for and where I want to drive and not drive why would I want to drive a big truck into that city? So maybe the driver shortage is worse for your city because its so undesirable for the driver.

    I have friends making 200-300k+. The shortage is real and it’s going to get better. So many people are venturing into owner operator status there will be saturation again.

    Not blaming anything on Trump. Just saying it went in place under him, and it did. But it was necessary.

    It’s simply not true that people are collecting money instead of working. Nobody can live on the Covid benefit.

    There’s also an easy solution: pay more.

    It seems like the real reason Republicans are freaking out is that labor has a very little bit of leverage for the first time in half a century.

    Not now with with the extra money cut but JFC some folks were getting more then $1000k a week shit I quit driving Rideshare for a bit because I was better off staying home and collecting $717 a week with no wear and tear and extra gas costs on my vehicle during what is normally our dead period in Phoenix with lack of tourists etc.
