There are shortages for appliances, especially.
I’m really glad I replaced the downstairs HVAC system in the very early Spring. Might have even been later Winter when I set up the deal.
I don’t hear much about this in the news, but anecdotally all my friends and acquaintances who have been working remotely have also told me how much money they’re saving from not going out for lunch every day, entertaining clients,commuting and wardrobe!

Democrats and MSM hardest hit...
Biden and any democrat: “We have to let experts shutdown the economy....again”.
I just moved to the Toledo area this June for a new facilty.
Anyway, I bought 6K worth of new furniture on June 30th. I won’t get it until the end of September.
Wow! Long wait!
I know my 2 channel home stereo never sounded better.
try going to a homedepot or lowes these days: the places are PACKED and the lines to checkout are a mile long ...
