Inflation for sure, but the stimulus was needed during the pandemic and to head off the economic downturn.  Jobs are still plentiful and companies are now having to pay much higher wages due to the inflation on top of a smaller workforce.  The pool of good candidates is lower.  What is needed is training in up and coming industries, such as renewables, to increase the pool of candidates and the higher pay.  A good way of making this happen is funding renewable energy projects in areas such as coal country where jobs are still hard to find.  Good paying ones at least.

So print more money will fix this issue when printing caused it

I don’t know, ask the Republican president (George H W Bush) who started the investment tax credit for renewable energy back in the early 90s.

Regular unleaded down to $4.39 a gallon at local Costco.  Sweet!

US should be the leader in this 

 

We should be looking to build nuclear plants and oil refineries west of the Mississippi in some of the more remote areas. Hell build them right next to each other.

Not so much the Euro tanking but rather the Dollar kicking ass everywhere

pretty annoyed that wing prices have not started to come down a bit. I'm still paying like $16 for a lb of wings even at dives. (or what passes for a dive bar in central bucks)

I drove through north Texas and got $4.11.

We are a large investor in a company that sells a ton of wings. The price never comes back down. We saw no drop in demand when we raised prices.

I'll never understand wings.  All that work, all that mess, very little payoff.

Disagree. Properly seasoned and cooked wings are life.

I almost never eat stuff like that, but on cheat day it's boneless wings FTW.

No, you're thinking of Maryland crabs.

 

Wings are a treat.

Blue crabs at a total waste. Best place is Cantlers near Annapolis though

Yep, boneless wings aren't actually deboned wings, they're just chunks of breast meat.

I prefer brisket, ribs, and wings in that order, but yeah there's just something about a cold beer and a plate of juicy wings (w/crispy skin), it's pretty much the perfect food for watching a game

I usually make a few dozen wings when I make brisket, pulled pork or ribs lol.

 

Wings are a great complimentary protein for big BBQs.

that's kind of what I figured. prices aren't backing off because why would they if demand is still there.

I know I haven't stopped buying them :lol:

I give you credit, when I smoke a brisket, all my focus is on that, I couldn't manage smoking anything else and still have it time up right. Any sides I make with it (slaw, wedges, mac, etc.) need to be easy enough to prep and finish while the brisket is resting in the cooler.
