December 14, 20223 yr Definitely good news on the inflation front. I heard boneless, skinless chicken breast has gone down down 75% a pound! Munson must be over-the-moon!

(Not specifically replying to you directly with this @Mlodj, just predicting the way I'd anticipate this playing out heading into the 2024 election)

Presidents always get too much blame and too much credit for events that are really beyond their control; it goes with the territory.
December 27, 20223 yr Retail theft was over $90B. How can we pin this future retail desert on racism when retails stores are removed from urban areas due to insurance cost?
January 5, 20233 yr Thanks a lot Biden. 😎 Seriously, the print industry has been shrinking for decades and most of us saw this coming. Both plants closing was a big shock though. https://www.wgal.com/amp/article/lsc-communications-to-close-its-printing-plants-in-lancaster-county/42407896

Mostly with the $500k jumbo xerox printers at the time. That was my 1st thought when I started seeing websites being advertised on TV in the mid-90s. I'm shocked it took THIS long.

It’s the long run high volume jobs that are few and far between. Our plant is designed to run jobs like the TV Guide, The Donnelly Directory, Readers Digest, NYTs, Avon, etc. We ran anywhere from a few hundred thousand to a few million impressions per job. We have 7 double web offset presses and 7 double web Gravure presses, and two times as many binding lines.

They’re running state of the art high speed Heidelberg’s and KBA’s. Like everywhere else, the lack of qualified employees is hamstringing them.

Don’t worry, that’s the last sales pitch I’ll make. 😇
January 6, 20233 yr Just now, The_Omega said: If you ever need any rotationally molded plastic pallets, hit me up. Don’t worry, that’s the last sales pitch I’ll make. 😇 A few years too late. We will probably have plenty of used ones for sale soon. I was amazed how many different types of pallets there are when I first started here. It seems like every customer required a different type and it was a PITA programming robots/APLs for the different types.

Sticker shock is another difficulty.
January 12, 20233 yr I haven't been able to read it fully but did we have month over month deflation in December?

It was +0.3% m-o-m ex-food and energy and +5.7% y-o-y. The drop in gas prices is why overall was negative but core was slightly positive.
