I have known also of a friend of my in-law, that in the middle of the summer in Arizona, had to wait a few months to get her AC fixed because of parts as well.

I ordered a furniture in Nov 2021. I'm still waiting for it. They keep pushing the ETA. Now it is for Aug.

We have a company that supplies us with Hack Squat/Leg Press combo machines. They sold out during the pandemic and still cannot fill our orders.
What is interesting, is that orders are still coming in, and people are still spending money on equipment.

It is what it is

People struggling to pay bills may decide to forgo Church. For sure they better be cutting out cable, restaurants, and other entertainment before they cut church attendance. We live in a decadent society where people could easily cut out the entertainment and luxury items to lower cost of living.

I don’t understand why people NEED to be at church 4x a week.

When younger I used to be at church everyday for early morning prayer, services, bible study, choir practice, taking my son to youth meetings, it was like fire in my bones. I'm not as active as I used to be, but I've never regretted being involved with church.

Just glanced across the street at the local grocery store, and they're advertising $4.49 as the cheapest. On top of that, bought my groceries for the next 2 to 2 1/2 weeks which would normally cost around $120-$130, but this time they cost me $212.

Ouch.

Ouch is right. Gas "regular" is between $4.75 to $5.16 a gallon here in South Florida.
