Re: “I disagree throughly with this authors conclusions. The author is only focused on manufactured goods and people spending money. They are spending plenty of money.”
I just read the article a second time and still don't understand what it is that you disagree with. He doesn't say that consumers aren't spending. He says that consumers are observant enough to notice the price increases that are now occurring and will reduce their spending… that the future free money Democrats will certainly throw their way will be less and less effective.

I agree with all of that and don't see how it conflicts with your p.o.v. Please clarify.

I disagree throughly with this authors conclusions.
The author is only focused on manufactured goods and people spending money.

They are spending plenty of money. Money thta has been raining on them from the JOE BIDEN admionistration in myriad ways..

Biggest way?? It's hard for emplyers to competye against the Federal Government for employees when the Fed just prints money to pay people to stay at home and sit on their arses. Otherwise more business like restaurants and retailers and manufactuirers would be ramping up their production but THEY CANNOT GET EMPLOYEES....

IF all these manufacturers and restauants start hiring people at prices above what BIDEN is paying the people to stay home. you will really see a sharp rise in goods and services... Historical in scope...

I am counting my blessings I am no longer manufacturing products and worried about employees..

But for some reason the author seems oblivious to the fact that it is difficult toi compete against Uncle Sam when Uncle Sam is paying very well for them to sit on their fat arses and stay at home....

THAT in itself would tell me as an employer when things return somehwat back to a simile of old self, I would not hire ANYONE who sat on their lazt butt and took money and did NOTHING,...That speaks volumes about the individual and their work ethic and drive...

Not in my plant.... I don't want lazy people.. I want people who actually WANT to work and make something and be productive... You cannot teach that. One either has an inner drive and desire to be like that or they do not...

Someone else can keep the lazy ones.. OR, as the BIBLE says: "If a man does not work, he should not eat".

I agree 100 percent.. Laziness is a sin.. And this administration is promoting it and trying to keep people from working...

Its my opinion. Yours could vary.. But I have hired people for over 45 years and worked alongside in my factories with them so I think I have a very hands on perspective...
