I'm not seeing any reports of shortages over Black Friday so it supply chain issues for consumer goods might be relaxing.
After I went through gas prices touching $4/gallon in 2008 anything under $3/gallon is just fine by me. I’ve seen over $3 here and there but my house it’s usually like $2.80 or so.
Yeah hopefully it’ll stay that way less than three dollars I have my business that depends on the cost of fuel and I’m sure many typical homeowners don’t want it to go more than three dollars as well
Paper towels, toilet paper, sanitizers, disinfectants, wipes, cleaning supplies, meat, pasta, fresh, canned and frozen fruit and vegetables... PPE?
Do they truly not understand that if you shut down the world economy for months and no one is buying or producing very much and then open back up and everyone has money saved and pent up demand there won’t be enough supply to fill it? I guess it’s Biden’s fault everything is manufactured in Asia and he should let China know to hurry up with the production!
This is a much more realistic and real world look into the current job market and economic recovery - the middle class professionals are still being crushed and still cannot find suitable work. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/11/08/job-search-not-getting-hired/
Last night I filled up my tank at $3.09 gallon. That is down from the $3.29 gallon I was seeing at gas stations here in Minneapolis a few days ago. That said a lot of this appears to be fluctuations between stations as I'm still seeing several stations at $3.19 gallon.

I'm guessing that the supply chain and labor problems are going to fade out as we pass the midterms and Biden's approval rating is going to look a lot like a bathtub curve before it's all over.
Quite the optimist. From my seat, I am seeing supply chain issues resolve quicker than expected. I suspect labor issues will remain constant and extended out longer than anticipated. I am curious to see what shakes out in early to mid January. My guess is we will see some direction come mid Q2 with more stimmy talk come late Q1/Early Q2.
The 2024 election is almost 3 years away. That's a long time. Doesn't take an optimist to think that problems which took root over the space of about a year will begin to unwind themselves by then. This, by the way, is not a prediction of victory or defeat. Electoral politics is almost completely disconnected from reality now. Trump had every reason to get blown the **** out in 2020 and only lost by 40K votes.
