As we entered into one of our local, regular breakfast joints, Kris and I observed and then read aloud a printed note on the entrance. It informed us the restaurant would be now be closing earlier, at 3pm Sunday through Wednesday. We were a bit surprised because the restaurant has been serving our community faithfully for years from 6am to 10pm (long days, to be sure). At breakfast we were able to ask our server why the change. His answer, “Not enough workers.” There you have it – an explanation for so many recent, at times small, glitches in American life. Paper supplies have delayed the publication dates. Why? One explanation, “Not enough workers.” Retail: “Not enough workers.”
Without a steady stream of immigrants we will not have enough workers. Also I think COVID sealed the deal for many older workers who found they actually could live without a job. I’m thinking of school bus drivers.
Some really bizarre facts right there! As far as Alzheimer’s goes, I’m a clinical nutritionist and we use nutritional changes to lower general inflammation in Alzheimer’s patients. The change in their mental condition is nothing short of remarkable and can often halt the progression of the disease for the time the patient sticks with the protocol, especially in earlier stages. This approach comes from the work of Dr Bredison amongst others, and has been reproduced many times over. It is certainly alarming to find the white plaques in the brain theory may have been fudged. Similar things are true also with depression theories.

I left the workforce last September. I was ready to work another year but came to the conclusin, I was also ready to retire and my employer didn't care. What sealed the deal, was they didn't care a wink about me through the pandemic. ( I have an auto-immune disease.) They managed to have themselves declared an essential manufacturer, had record sales, always have had huge profit margin, but give everyone a tiny raise every year. Talked to a financial planner and both my wife and I retired, two months apart. Best decision we ever made. Oh, and almost a year later, my position is still unfilled. No qualified candidates. Companies don't like senior level workers, until, they lose them to inflexibility and rash decision making.

As for crime rates: figures never lie but liars figure
I could provide many examples of a decreased workforce, but will simply list two:
Our local post office just told me that they are seven carriers short and can't find anyone to fill the jobs.
Our branch of Bank of America usually has one teller, and he is many times fulfilling other duties as well.
I recently heard a story on NPR that America is presently in need of 80,000 truckers in order to get various supplies out.
