Here we go again y'all. We have two journalists for financial magazines saying the labor shortage will end soon. According to Ben Winck from Business Insider expects a hiring free for all to happen after the New Year. However, CNBC Financial genius Eric Rosenbaum makes it clear that the Apple Chip shortage is ending, but the supply chain of goods following in from China to the US is a train wreck. Yet according to John Matarese with a Denver ABC affiliate station there may be a few items not on your Thanksgiving table this year. Why? Labor shortage. So are we turning a corner or not? These new round of manipulation can make you head spin. Let's break it down. It's true that more people started leaving their miserable jobs behind starting back in September. Also, let's look at the scam numbers that two of the geniuses are using for employment numbers. If you are unemployed but looking, you're considered employed. If you are unemployed and doing odd jobs, you're c...

During the Great Depression, President Hoover announced a national Thanksgiving to be celebrated by everyone. At the Department of Home Economics to be First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was guiding Americans through the hard times. Someone please hand me a tissue. I'm getting misty eyed. Yeah!  With all honesty, I had to set my phone down because I thought my head was going to explode with the arrogance of these two. The money masters and Hoover create a problem and the future First Lady guides America through it. Let that reality sink in. If they weren't already dead, I'd beat the dog hell out of them with a Jello mold and roasting pan.  The article talks about an Aunt Sammy who offered recipes and help to those in need. One crazy thing is 'Mock Duck'. It's made with beef wrapped around Chestnut Dressing. Cream of onions, no joke y'all. That's actually a dish. According to the article a turkey then cost $5.50. I know right. So cheap. Except it's not. The...

This week got away from me. Tuesday we got Antonia's FSFA done. Then Friday was her campus tour. The starting college is going to be wonderful. It was refreshing to see her so happy. This week's Kroger walk through held some improvements. I was happy to see these. However, they were only on the  surface. As you see with the Frosted Flakes Cereal.  The frozen breakfast cases were almost bare. However, if you desire to have freezer meals for breakfast in your freezer, don't sweat it. Here is a list of some YouTube moms I watch and they do freezer meals like nobody's business.  Amy Maryon - mom of ten can do freezer meals to feed a crew. Jamerrill Stewart - mom of nine has you covered. She has meal packs in her shop which contains directions for feeding a crew. Both large and small.  Kimmie Hughes - Kimmie is a mom of four. She's In Her Apron has been a favorite of mine for some time now. Each one of these ladies bring a lot of knowledge and experience at cooking and f...

Americans are born and raised in shopping malls. Seriously! You can see folks pushing strollers from store to store everyday of the week. Look out for the weekend. Mercy me. You can't take two steps without tripping over a stroller. George Carlin solved the dilemma of voting by staying home and I likewise have solved the stroller issue, avoiding the mall. Don't get me going on the food courts in these malls. Again, George Carlin covered it perfectly. Americans are going to face a dilemma this year. Especially if you tend to procrastinate on your Christmas shopping. You may not find anything. I already have the items for my daughter. That's it. I will get the cat and dog a little gift, and that is the end. Everyone else will get fudge, cookies, and jam. Yes, I need my jars back. I do this with people that I know I'll get them back. And I do have one person I don't give to because she's too damn picky and I don't do gift cards. You take what's offered or y...

 Here is this week's random thoughts. I have included pictures from the Great Depression. History is repeating itself right before our eyes. During the twenties people bought into the stock market that never would have prior to WW I. After WW I we had the buy now pay later system start and it exploded. Your middle class was buying stocks on margin. Meaning they put up a fraction of the cost for a stock and then a broker paid the rest. If a stock cost fifty dollars the individual would pay twenty-five and the broker paid the other twenty-five. This repeated until the margin was so high that the broker and the client made a nice little profit. However, in the case where the stock lost money the client would have to pay an extra bit of money or loss their profit to the broker. It was a nice little scam. Many brokers made millions doing that.  Then came the Great Depression. As usual, the White House wouldn't acknowledge there was a problem. Kind of like now. They admit there's...

 Here are just some things to think about going into the winter. Rising prices and Karma are here to stay. The cost of gas in my area has gone up ten cents in a week. Many nations in Europe are facing the possibility of running out of fuel to heat homes. They will have a beautiful view as they leave this world. China has ordered industrial plants to limit the use of power. They are supposed to be the forward thinkers. The Chinese are supposed to be the ones thinking clearly. So much for that. We need to take time to prepare for this winter because it could be long dark and cold winter. https://youtu.be/7mg17FnHubs

  This is just a brief video on my thoughts about the panic buying and government shutdown threat. Let it close. I would love to see these arrogant asses run around frantically trying to figure out how to meet the needs of their families and pay bills without a source of income. And spoiler alert: Most Americans don't have a multi-million dollar family inheritance. https://youtu.be/bjtb53hdx0Q
