[quote:gdog:MV80OTA3Njk4Xzg5NjQ4NDg0XzhBNjI2RjI0] Good thread. I live in S Cal in a red county. People are flooding here from LA and the Bay Area. Many of us are allowed to work from home now. Houses still selling for 100k over asking within a week of listing. Very busy restaurants. All low staffed. A lot of help wanted signs up everywhere. Small construction crew delayed doing a job for me because he can't find workers/laborers. He's never seen anything like this. I track the funeral home industry. SCI specifically because they are large enough to be geographically distributed in the US. Their business is booming. Up double digits from last year. Granted, some of that was because people spend more on funerals now that they are not locked down. But straight up deaths are up since January. (Their stock took a big hit during 2020 because their business was so slow - no additional deaths from the COVID hoax and no one holding expensive funerals - investors were shocked because they didn't know COVID death reporting was a hoax) Traffic patterns are completely different now. I still visit the Bay Area quite a bit and while Silicon Valley is booming, traffic is WAY down due to so many working from home. There are many young people moving back home. Remember, the US used to have almost 4 people per household. Now the US average is 2.5 people per house. So: 1) Deaths are up - probably an additional 300,000 added to the typical .9% population death rate in the US (about 2.9M people/yr in the US die) 2) More people are working from home 3) Many had a taste of "retirement" during shutdown and now they saying fuckit, I'm retiring on less 4) More young staying or moving home 5) Regional Diaspora - moving to Idaho, Florida, Texas, etc. 6) Many still on the tit.gov staying home shitposting :) [/quote]

How are so many places understaffed when unemployment and eviction moratoriums are gone?
I don’t believe that many people are suddenly hiding now because of CoVid and not working just waiting to get evicted. Even fast food is paying $15 an hour in states where it’s not the mandatory minimum wage - and heroic grocery store workers stayed on the job at the height of the fear pandemic.
Why would all those people not be working now? What are all these mysterious ‘better jobs’ they left for?
Are the supply shortages really because so many people are MIA?
