We didn't have massive inflation, skyrocketing gas prices, labor shortages due to Democrat socialist policies, and vaccine mandates cutting workforces even more due to Democrat socialist policies destroying America in 2020. This time, the empty shelves will be far more reaching with a far greater catastrophic effect.

Gas prices are not skyrocketing, the labor shortages are from the pandemic, not "Democrat socialist policies, vaccine mandates are not cutting the workforce......

Of course you can post some actual facts to the contrary...when you make them up that is.

When people make more on government pay outs than at a job are you really going to say that has no impact on people working or not? Vaccine mandates are also impacting the medical field.

From the article:

"As reported in USA Today on September 12, Lewis County Hospital in upstate New York plans to suspend infant deliveries as of September 24 citing safety concerns. The decision was made following the resignation of medical staff due to New York state’s vaccine mandate. Earlier this month, AP News reported many hospital systems’ newest dual crises in nurse staffing: burgeoning resignations from cumulative burn-out coupled with the loss of staff nurses to much more lucrative traveling positions."

Clearly, there is a slight reduction in work force due to vaccine mandates, but it's negligible. And I hope you realize that a reduction in nurses isn't really related to reductions in work forces that deal directly with the supply chain.

Your definition of skyrocketing is subjective and probably has a high ceiling due to your bias. I would say anything above a 10% increase would be a bad thing for business. We are are pushing 50% and in some areas(blue states) even more

Whats your % when you say skyrocketing? You cant just use a term without defining it.

Skyrocketing implies they are currently going up, and by a lot. They're not. But yes, they're higher than pre and mid-pandemic levels for obvious reasons. Few of which have anything to do with the Biden administration.

Gas was $3.38 at the end of October and rose to a high of $3.41 mid-November. They're currently $3.29.

Thats skyrocketing whether you admit it or not.

And it certainly has a lot to do with Bidens policies and rhetoric against fossil fuels.

Yes Tom I understand that. Negligible based on? Given the current strain on healthcare I would be reluctant to believe any healthcare worker loss would be considered negligible.

https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/hosp...es/617197/

Seems some in the industry consider the losses as more than negligible.

"However, providers also noted requiring immunizations could exacerbate the nation's worsening staffing crisis, especially in facilities and regions with particularly acute need like nursing homes and in rural areas.

"The AHA has consistently urged all health care workers to be vaccinated and supports hospitals and health systems that require them for their workforce to better protect them, their patients and the communities they care for," CEO Rick Pollack said in a statement on the ruling. "We also recognize that a vaccine requirement has the potential to create additional workforce staffing issues, at a time when our workforce is already exhausted by the many demands of COVID-19."

And less than $3 per gallon in my area in late 2020 before Biden's edict as president to punish the oil and gas industry, eliminate the Keystone Pipeline, and eventually purge the energy sector of 1.5 Million oil and gas jobs over the next 20 years. Thankfully, Biden will die in office from the Alzheimer's and b**** Harris will be voted out to end the socialist dictatorship the Democrat Party is inflicting on America right now.

Democrats need to quit blaming the pandemic for why they suck at navigating the economy.

Remember the hyperinflation of the Weimar Republic? Democrat socialist policies are a recipe for financial collapse. The dims cannot be allowed to federalize state elections. It would be the death of the republic.

One thing that the Regressives have in common with Cons is that they have to eat too. It makes me smile that even if I have to pay more for food that they have to also. They're getting the brunt of everything going up solely because they were too stupid to vote for THE SOB and it's hurting their pocketbooks. I don't mean the ones like the Commie here and his buddies who pay for their groceries with Rubles, I'm talking about real American Leftists.

Clearly closing hospitals or wings at hospitals with no care from hundreds of miles is jus a slight inconvenience for you? I can only imagine how heavy that water bucket your carrying is getting.

According to Tom, inflation was skyrocketing under Trump when it was 1.5%. Now that its 7% to 9%, no biggie.

in 2021, the average worker saw a pay decrease of 2.4% due to inflation. Thats the average worker. If you focus on lower income workers, they are getting hammered.

Did I stutter?

No, HIGH inflation (or sustained inflation) isn't a "good thing". And I haven't read everything scorp has posted on the subject, but he's most likely explained that inflation can be a sign that there's a lot of money in the economy, which of course, is desirable in most cases.

Additionally, coming out of a pandemic with shut downs of many sectors of the economy that are still effecting supply chains and prices due to worker shortages, etc., you can't just look at the current inflation stats in a vacuum.

It's complicated. Throwing around one-liners is weak.

What I find funny is that the healthy foods at the local Kroger are always stocked well but if you go to the junk food/snack aisles they’ve been picked over and empty for months.

And if anyone wants to know or look into why this virus has caused so many problems in the US…that would be a good starting point.
