Is Ace Ventura your delivery man ?
No, this was the time I had the house taken from under me after I bought it... because the owner pulled it from under us after we moved in. (Long story) but we were forced to move out ASAP dealing with BS... Had to hire another moving company and moved into where I am now...
I'll be moving 1200+ miles from where I live, unlike my current moves which has been 50 miles max, I want to make sure they stay say for long-term travel.
No fake news articles, just personal interactions on this.
First, my wife mentioned that the last couple times she went grocery shopping the bill has been noticeable higher. When people notice their weekly food bills rising, it isn't a 2-4% increase that gets their attention. Inflation is likely already in double-digits despite all the bullshit the media tries to tell us.
Speaking with a few other friends over the Memorial Day weekend I heard similar things, but on everything from building a home to buying a used car. Prices are going up much faster and higher than we are being fed by the media.
The media is even going to far as to start writing articles saying the economy is set for a boom thanks to stimulus and vaccinations. Google news had an entire section full of articles like this last night.
I wonder how far this goes. With almost 4 years of a Biden (or Harris) administration, I would not be surprised to see things get to the point where people start stealing swing sets from yards for the wood. Is this how Mad Max began?

As long as interest rates hold off increasing for the next few months and I get a "check" from the government for at least two months, I'll accept whatever comes my way. There is a point in time where you accept what is happening and just go with it, or change what you can and hope you can ride out the rest until you come out through the other side.
There is a point in time where you either stop worrying, and hope that all goes well, or panic because you didn't prepare... which I believe we will see a lot more than not because the sheep listen to the wolves.
