Just anecdotal observations the past few days. Restaurants have cut their opening hours citing lack of workers. Gasoline is near 6 and the traffic has been very light. Many people here drive 20 to 30 miles to get to and from the shops. That is $30 in gasoline per day just to work a $15 an hour part time entry level job. So all entry level positions are being abandoned. It’s simply not worth it. There are endless “NOW HIRING” signs in the labor jobs. All now moved to 4 10 hour days. Still no one is working. All other service jobs (painting, concrete, lawn service) are cutting back hours and availability.
LET’S GO BIDEN!!!

I’ve noticed a big decline in traffic in western Maryland and on the nearby Interstates over the past two weekends. Gas at the closest station is $5.06 gal. for 87 regular.
