Remember those devasating losses on the stock market?

The S&P 500 is now above what was at that time its all-time record from 6/21/21.

Unemployment is the lowest it has ever been in US history.

Biden just slammed through 5 huge initiatives.

Somebody please tell the Sunday shows and the NYT.

I dunno, the crudite at Wegner's in Pittsadelphia costs too much.
 
From what I'm seeing, actual wages are a drop in the bucket compared to benefits and other costs.

It appears that floor personnel and shift supervisors will get a "significant raise" in a couple of months along with those of us on one of the two "weekend shifts" getting the added shift differential pay offered to overnights & afternoon shifts (apparently we are one of the last facilities NOT paying this). But this is coming with a warning: It's very likely that we will NOT have staffing back at 2018/19 levels at anytime in the near future.

This tells me that either management realizes that there aren't very many applications coming into their inbox. This also tells me that since they are paying a higher wage, they may actually start screening applicants a lot harder than they currently do. This also confirms my math here: 1 Employee (40 Hours + 10-18 hours of OT + 1 Benefits) < 2 Employees (40 hours + 0 OT + 2 Benefits).

It's nice to see even more money coming my way (up about 21% since being hired in 2019 and was "livable" at that base rate). But I also am cautious since they are already floating the idea that the massive amount of OT is here to stay. Since I hit my 5th year of service on Jan 1 (2019-23) I get an additional week of time off. I can use this in 1 hour increments each week to guarantee a max of 45 hours (instead of 56) for about 46 weeks of the year, so I'm content. But it's gonna be rough on the people that either use their time stupidly, or just don't have the seniority to have 5 weeks of time off. I also feel that the rules regarding this may change since there is a lot of chatter about using this method to skip out on OT.
 
Is there a place in america where taxes aren’t going up? Everyone’s home value increased. My taxable value increased 26% this year

My property taxes are only going up a small bit, but I live in a city that in many ways makes GDO look appealing.

I thought taxes only go up if your house goes up in value more than your neighbors. Like, the costs of a city are generally fixed. If your house goes up in value 20% with everyone else's, but the city's expenses stay flat, the taxes should stay flat

if your house goes up because you finished your basement, you should be assessed for the updated value and relative to the rest of the city.

No idea because here, we don’t get our estimated property tax amount until November.

She’s in Hennepin County. They need to keep the Twins’ payroll from seeking yet another new stadium.
