whats it like in your part of the woods?
over hear its kinda weird lately
i work at a place that very seldom fires people
and two people have been fired lately
also, ive been driving the same commute for decades, so i know the ebb and flow of police presence on the highways
lately, theres been a lot more police presence on the same stretch of highway
but it seems like it gets like this every election year, doesnt it?
like theres a scare campaign every election year
make every driver scared of getting pulled over
make every worker scared of getting fired
how about you?
have you noticed this too?
Locally we’ve had mounting issues. Speeders, Homeless causing problems etc. To the point it’s causing the local politicians concern over their reelection chances. So they’re screeching at the cops to do something about it.
Not sure about your area though.
As far as Jobs go. Locally it’s mostly economic factors and changing spending habits leading to job loses. Inflation is cutting into wages and margins are slimmer. We’ve had a train of local companies go under over the past year. Also College Kids and fresh graduates are heading home. Opportunity for businesses to get cheaper labor.
So long time people are getting gone on the belief the owners/management will find a new grad or college kid in desperate need of a job they can hire for cheaper than what they were paying the long time employee.
