Of course, there are a shittons of people willing to immigrate to the US to fill the labor gap.
'they' are supposed to maintain that stuff.
well, ok. i still say get all the indolent bums we have now turned out to work.....
Stupid boomers...not maintaining stuff...
and pols want to give them Free lawyers
energy inflation is driven by our desire to punish Russia for their war in Ukraine.
You don't fix inflation by raising prices. Charging money for free stuff is literally inflation.
Like student loan forgiveness at a cost of $400Billion?
Fuel costs were way up well-ahead of the later February invasion of Ukraine, as we ALL know (so stop lying). Beat up infrastructure is caused by inadequate maintenance and lack of investment over a course of years (so stop lying). Supply chain inadequacies is largely caused by dislocated and pent up demand through the regimen of coerced COVID shutdowns rather than merely headcounts. Log jams in existing service channels and ports of entry (so stop lying).
just the magical 'they' that the indolent always reference not realizing we're all they....
What a stupid statement. On the one hand you would have the boomers retire because they are keeping younger workers from moving up the ladder. Now you want to blame them for doing so.
Cut benefits to those 62 or older that are already on SS? Is that your Plan A?
Correct. American citizens are "they" and/or "they enablers". And...many parents are raising and inculcating still more "they". I'm a GenXer...but it seems "we're all Boomers now".
There is a labor shortage. I don't care if the boomers go back and be baristas. But they have able-bodies and they ain't working. It is causing inflation.
Raising taxes on benefits to fund it would be preferable.
Who the f*ck are you to tell someone not only that they should go back to work but go back and take a job that they are massively over-qualified for? I worked hard, saved my money and retired. Why should I go back?
The invasion was telegraphed for months. Fuel prices went up when the market believed an invasion was imminent.Fuel costs were way up well-ahead of the later February invasion of Ukraine, as we ALL know (so stop lying).

Look, I get it that lazy, slacker, one-dimensional sloths seek simpleton answers - particularly when they are readily aligned to comfort and swell existing bias. Just don't try to pretend such is compelling to normal folks.
That would mean less net income for SS recipients. Boomers and the Greatest Generation are the most reliable voting bloc. Any change that f**ks with their bottom line is a political graveyard. If that is your Plan A, it ain't gonna happen. You can say it as loudly and as often as you want, but it ain't gonna happen.
Because you want to cure inflation without having the Fed put a bunch of people out of work.
I realize it isn't politically viable. But I don't think the cure for inflation is political viable either.
