I *hate* what "Covid" did to "normal standards" for businesses. 6 years on, and the change is permanent. Everyone thinks it's "just normal, you know?" now like nothing is different.
Where I live in New England, *all* 24 hour stores are no longer 24 hours. Not Walmart. Not the grocery. Not a single one of the eight or so convenience/gas stores. At least four used to stay open. None do now.
The restaurants on Main St in a tourist town? 9 pm closing on Fridays and Saturdays.
The entire town, and the surrounding area, closes down at 9 pm. Even on weekends. Even with tourists in town.
The one grocery store in town? Used to close at midnight. Then it went back to 11 pm with hand drawn signs "sorry no staffing heart emoji". Then 10.
Now it's down to 9 pm. Now that's normal. Even on Friday or Saturday.
"Covid", somehow, I don't understand how it could still be this way, is the demarcator line. Somehow, 6 years later, businesses are still struggling to find staff. No business I've patronized has been fully staffed in six years-I'm serious.
What is going on? How did all these people, who still exist and still have bills to pay, manage to find a way to not work, and they're still paying their bills?
Better hope you never actually need anything in an emergency.

Jamal just can’t understand that when a cop tells you to stop trespassing, you’ll go to jail if you don’t move on 🙄
“I don’t gotta talk to you”
“If I wanna talk to her daughter I can come knock”
The black and entitled ‘Watermelon Felon’ mindset on display:
@EBTtok Fatherless dude thinks that he’s the most desired and can’t take no for an answer. The self hate is so strong they hate being rejected by nonblack women.
Because they use them for resources and social status symbols
@Mdvdndhbd They are socialized to believe they could shit on white men and white men are their lessers and white men are soft. It’s an arrogance backed by the left wing politicians.
Be careful with Trader Joe’s. Just opened this and it smelled like and tasted like vinegar. Dumped it. Just bought it this week. Should not have turned
So encouraging to see.
indian woman on H-1B brags about her degrees and ‘experience,’ then whines she still can’t get a job.
‘Treat me better US, I don’t deserve this.’
This is the brazen arrogance we’re done with. Here’s a thought. Go home.
Kevin O’Leary: "The worst part about being a rich guy? It's your own family hitting on you for money. And it's extremely difficult, particularly during the period when you're starting to amass it."
This Afghan musIim was about to $exuaIIy harass a little girl, but this brave young Australian dude stepped up and taught his ass a solid lesson.
Love you bro ❤️
I just met an Armenian girl in Central Park. Pure hustler. This side hustle should be everywhere.
She immigrated here 5 years ago and got a job working this booth that says “newspaper in 5 seconds.”
She does it for tips only and grosses about $130/hour. The owner has 55 of these! Around Central Park and Times Square.
It’s simply a DSLR camera attached wirelessly to a printer
I assume her boss takes a lion’s share of her tips but we tipped generously regardless.
There’s no place like NYC.
@hey_mindi See that’s the thing you guys are just attention trolling I don’t read positive stuff about Facebook marketplace. It’s always the whining
you have a good day. I’m out.
I feel like the internet is very invested now in our vehicle saga. So, here's another update:
Posted our minivan for sale. Facebook Marketplace.
A VERY pregnant woman shows up with her toddler and father in law who is quite old.
She made an inspection appointment with a local mechanic. Test drives it and drops it off.
I invite her and her family to just hang out at my in-laws for an hour while the mechanic checks it out (because sitting with a toddler in one of those places is torture).
The old guy pops a cig in the front yard.
Ok... a little odd but whatever. He's not by the kids.
I offer them lawn chairs and the kids are running amok playing.
Old guy gets up, he peed in the chair.
I pretend not to notice. I actually don't know if he noticed...
An hour is about up so they go to pick the van up at the mechanic.
Another hour passes... we start wondering if they stole the van (I actually wouldn't have been mad about that HA).
I message her. Nothing.
Another 30 minutes...
They're back. The van needs some work.
Yes, we know. We told you that.
She's going to pass.
I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die.
And there is now a trillionaire.
