    The problem today is their “official” number is with lying and cheating. It’s like the unemployment number. It’s really 24.7%. That’s calculated the old correct way. Inflation if calculated either by the pre 1980 way or pre 1990 way is close to 20%.

    I feel like these numbers are accurate. It fits what I see. I’m seeing lots not working though they’re being paid either by the government or doing something off the books. Trucking couldn’t stink any more. I am seeing massive debt to the tune of 1 trillion every 100 days. 24% unemployment and 20% inflation makes sense.

    And as an R&L driver what is the bonus per mile for being in the left lane? They must pay one.

    Yes we can Thank God. I've had 2 grown children and my grandchildren move in because they couldn't afford to live. Their food housing and utilities have become unaffordable. Luckily we have a great paying job to help them out.

    Good on you @IndianaMike inflation is real, I’m 40 years old, making a decent living, and struggle to keep it all together down here in central Florida. That’s a good thing you did for your kids, let’s pray we all land back on our feet sooner than later.
     
    IndianaMike Thanks this.
