I went to get lunch with my brother. We had to go to four restaurants before we found one with an open dining room. I went to the grocery store a couple of days ago. They one register and a bank of self-checkout open at 5 PM. The lines were 20 carts deep. My daughters school is doing rotating classroom closings, not because of covid but because they can’t hire teachers. My Amazon shipments have ballooned from 1-2 to 5 days. These are just some personal stories. We haven’t talked about global supply chain issues, container gluts, price inflation, food shortages, etc. This is a level of dysfunction I have not seen in my 37 years on earth.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but all of those problems could be alleviated by gasp paying workers a living wage, with schedules that allow one to have a life outside of work. What's laughable is the absolute privilege of treating the worker class like the slaves they are and demanding they take what is offered. Coincidentally the income inequality is the highest ever as well- but of course that couldn't be part of the problem.
