The lack of vaccine wouldn’t impact US to US sales. So your article has zero affect on US inflation and is highly misleading here. Id argue it probably has a positive effect on US inflation since a logistics company would just route the 50 percent of drivers who normally would go to Canada to further US destinations. Thus helping US supply and decreasing prices. So if you're right we'll see the cost of food and other products start to drop any moment now. Can you tell me when that will be? I'm hungry and it's almost dinner time here in Southern California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was the article posted is misleading because it’s about Canada. Where there are policies that aren’t in place in the US. So ofcourse I’m right. That’s what the article is about! So unless you move to Canada the article has 0 effect on you being poor and not being able to afford food. For that, I’d suggest you just pull yourself up by the bootstraps. You’re only poor because you choose to be poor. 10 hours ago, Irv said: You're honestly not that ***** dumb are you? Look around. Irv, I know you’re part of the illiterate right here.

Literally the policy in the article has no impact on goods being delivered to the US. I think the answer is the cross-border vaccine mandates for truckers will disrupt transportation capacity to bring goods across the border both ways. The US plans to institute similar rules on 1/22. Three days from today. The mandates will result in fewer truck drivers meeting the international driver requirements which means less products being traded and moved between the US and Canada. Fewer drivers means fewer trucks on the road with idle capacity and fewer deliveries. Ultimately, the result is less product on the shelves, disruptions to supply chains, higher wages for drivers, higher freight charges, and ultimately higher prices at the stores as consumers knowing supply is disrupted and quite possibly limited will "hoard" products with the expectation future supplies will be tight. Stores will in response institute purchase quantity limits to the affected items which will confirm consumer fears of supply issues. The expectation is higher prices until and if the capacity constraints get sorted out and resolved or for some reason demand is lower. Generally, the easiest way to cut demand is to raise prices. For US consumers I'm thinking paper and wood products will be one area to watch. And its not just final goods that will be impacted but also inputs to factories and manufacturing facilities and processes. https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/canada/canada-s-vaccine-mandate-for-cross-border-truckers-is-now-in-effect-1.5741561 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there truckers are vaccinated and any US policy would be moot. And this again just rejects the idea that it’s easily solvable by truckers getting vaccinated.

SoCal Deek Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I’ll repeat it again here for some context grounded in REALITY. With the exception of one (a pregnant young lady), every single person of the dozens and dozens that got Covid over the holidays was either fully vaccinated or vaccinated AND boosted.

B-Man Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Back to the inflation thread..................... GREAT MOMENTS IN GASLIGHTING: Gas prices are in the danger zone. Biden can’t do much about it. President Joe Biden’s 2022 is off to a dreadful start. Prices at the pump could make it even worse. Crude oil has already zoomed back to two-month highs. Gasoline prices, which move with a lag, have stopped their muted decline. And they’re starting to creep higher again. The energy resurgence is only going to add to the economic anxiety gripping the United States and sinking Biden’s poll numbers. “This is a terrible situation. Gas prices are in this political danger zone,” Helima Croft, head of global commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets, told CNN. The White House knows how deeply unpopular high gas prices are. That’s why Biden took sweeping action in November to intervene. The administration announced the largest-ever release of emergency crude reserves from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in US history. The return of $85 oil will pile pressure on Biden to act once again — and the administration is signaling further action is on the table. “Tools continue to remain on the table for us to address prices. This is something the administration is continuing to watch and monitor very closely,” a White House official told CNN. https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/18/energy/gas-prices-inflation-biden/index.html?utm_content=2022-01-18T21%3A03%3A05&utm_term=link&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twCNNp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 BECAUSE THE “EXPERTS” ARE DRIVEN MORE BY AGENDAS THAN INTELLECT? Why Did Almost Nobody See Inflation Coming? “ Forecasting inflation is a staple of macroeconomic modeling, yet virtually all economists’ predictions for the United States in 2021 were way off the mark. This dismal performance reflected a collective failure to take economic models seriously enough, as well as other analytical shortcomings.” Talking about inflation was bad for the Democrats’ big-spending plan, so there was no talk about inflation. Except from Republicans, whose views were dismissed as “far right conspiracy theory,” a phrase that we’ve learned translates pretty well as “things everyone will know in six months.” https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/2021-us-inflation-forecasting-errors-economic-models-by-jason-furman-2022-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our chef is a female. It’s actually pretty awesome. She sends us a meal plan once a week, then grocery shops for the foods and cooks a weeks worth of dinner every Tuesday. Chef fee is just $200 a week plus we give her the cash for the groceries. For that cost, the time savings alone is so worth it. Plus it reduces eating out which can get expensive.

Growing up in WNY my Mom would tell us "We have drinks at home!", every time we stopped at McDonald's....which was very rarely. And for that trade-off and many others Dad got season tickets to the Bills, where once again we'd eat home-made sandwiches and thermos of hot chocolate from our lower level seats at half-time. I considered all of it a trade well worth it. Go Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
