Currently, there are 17 COVID-related shortages in major and minor consumer products and medical supplies but expected to be resolved, albeit with price increases. Included are new cars, chlorine, lumber, pet food, homes, chicken, and hotdogs, to name a few. Most formidable is a fuel shortage — already in play due to the lack of gas truck drivers (see more on that below) — but exacerbated by the oil pipeline cyberattack, on the verge of becoming a national security threat. Now, after paying ransom, the pipeline is slowly reopening, but supply vulnerabilities remain.

how dare parents interfere with their child’s education.
teachers are crybabies. those who can’t do, teach.
An over abundance of lawyers doesn’t help.
That is true. There are already to many around.
Adding to that is, those who can’t teach become journalists.
I am thinking that the way the police shortage will be addressed will come to look a bit like the final chapters of A Clockwork Orange.
> how dare parents interfere with their child’s education <
It all depends what you mean by “interfere”. I taught at an urban high school for decades. I had parents who would want to know exactly what was going on with their child’s education, every step of the way. No problem! That was their right. And I was thrilled that they took an interest. 99% of my fellow teachers felt the same way.
But I also had parents who demanded that I not give homework on days when their kids had a sporting event scheduled. And parents who got upset when I sent their child to the principal because he would not stop using his cell phone in class. Yeah, that was a problem.
One of my kids is starting to see that. He’s a trucker. He normally drives flatbed semi’s for a lumberyard.
Lately, he’s been pulled out of the semi to drive other vehicles because they don’t have qualified drivers.
The other day he had to drive a smaller panel truck on a long run. He’s paid way more than the panel truck guys and he’s dependable.
In Biden’s America no one wants to work.
years ago (back in the 90s) I was travelling for work, returning from a job site. I stopped in a Wendy’s for lunch. Sitting nearby there was a group of 8 or 10 people sitting together. I was sitting within earshot and from their conversation it became apparent they were a group of teachers from a nearby high school that were proctoring exams or some such thing (it was early/mid-June).
They were complaining about the kids -— they don’t seem that smart, they don’t seem to get it, they don’t seem interested....yadda, yadda...
I finished up and was walking by just as one remarked how different it was when they were in school. I leaned in and said “perhaps you had better teachers”
Apparently, doctors are so important that they show up on this list twice. :-P
“teachers are crybabies. those who can’t do, teach.”
Teachers perform a thankless job in thankless conditions. How dare you insult them.

Or worse, politicians.
I doubt there will be any resurgence of any Wills, Sonnys, or BJ McKays. Robot trucks are coming in some form or fashion. I doubt they will take over totally.
The sign of a declining society is a general disdain for all things related to public service. Look who has taken that over, who wants to work with a bunch of “woke” retards?
Long, long way off
A dot on the horizon but out there.
Doctors!
My kin that happen to be Physicians will tell you the day and year when the AMA made the big push for female Doctors.
The story is, females tend to work fewer hours and do not stay in the work forever.
Showing an increase in the total number of Physicians but hopefully avoid internal competition.
Isn't that one of the pathways to "equity" that liberals want so much - use stabby Jamal and screaming kids with Tourette's to "equalize" the gifted kids. Now if we can just keep them from learning at home or in private tutoring.
School board meetings are like going to a pep rally. The administration does all kinds of lively presentations about all the GREAT things happening and how good it all is. THEN, you discover that the poverty level is very high and kids are not learning real skills...which comes out in the paper, not at board pep rallies. It’s all to get maximum money and okay to do as they please.
I also agree that administration burdens teachers and teaching. Although, the ‘fluff’ days of playing for a school day of instruction is not the school’s to do.
PLUS, the teacher’s unions and schools have increased their control over evil by accepting and pushing for immigration. Yes, illegals fill our schools and taxpayers pay dearly in dollars and instruction and assistance for these passing thru many of them. Liberals are killing everything they touch!!
WHO wants to bet me that among nthe ‘non-essential’ businesses that the Washington bureaucrats shut down there4 is LOGGING.
HOW close are loggers at a site? NOT very, according to what I have seen on TV.

Price of ALL lumber is up over 800%.
