Sandpebble, that was going to be my next question, how the labor shortages were affecting your (well now his) Business,


I still have contacts in the Grocery biz and I am glad I am no longer in that retail sector,
help has been extremely hard for them to find, from management down,

one friend said enough was enough, he was old enough and well off enough to quit, left the biz last month

Here in my town in SW Florida new business spring up as quickly as new ones die . Eight new strip malls while eight lay dormant .

Restaurants open later and close earlier from lack of staff , nine... count em... nine new car washes in town and none of them can find employees.

Donald boasted he would be the greatest jobs creator of all time and maybe he was . Unfortunately if he was , he was when we all had a job already .

I asked the question here a few years ago ...... What good are a million new jobs if only hundreds of thousands are going to show up to work ?

That's why those American factories didn't buckle to Trump and come rushing back here from Mexico. They chose to pay Mexicans $13 an hour instead and were smart to do so

Trump's record on jobs speaks for itself. But I would rather see jobs in this country instead of factories in Mexico selling stuff north of the border to people on unemployment, while American factory owners keep the profits. Too many years of that is how things got to a state where a populist like Trump would resonate in the first place. The dirty little secret is some politicians like unemployment, because their business donors like it too, for keeping payroll costs down. For his many many sins, Trump didn't talk like that and I would guess a lot of people loved him for it.
