I went to my Indian buffet spot today. Only one in there but waiter brought out a combo, said he would hook up more but it was plenty. Buffet is still closed.

He also complained about people not working

If you go to a buffet, but it's not served buffer-style, even if they're willing to bring more food.... is it a buffet? \

Asking for a friend, FAMS!

I use to carry that but now my wife has cut me back to $300. Have many credit cards with huge limits but all have zero balances except for our Costco Chase card which now has $137 for our dinner last night, prime rib for the lady and grilled Chinook medium rare for the gentleman. A long island iced tea for the lady and a pomegranate mojito for the gentleman. Only side was a rather large spinach salad split between us and baked potato for the lady and fingerlings for the gentleman.
Oh, and half a dozen Fanny Bay oysters on the half shell. Whoever shucked those needs to go back to shucking school.
Great window seat with awesome views of Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens.

I worked with a guy at Boeing who did that with his friend's mother. Also that happened to LeBron James' teammate and mother when first at Cleveland. That's probably why he went to Miami. His teammate was probably gone from the team when he returned to Cleveland.

Saw a woman naked for the first time when I was 14. The woman was the mom of a dude my friends and I sometimes hung out with after school. She was totally naked and drunk walking out of the shower when I was there. Grossed me the hell out.

I saw a woman about five years older than me when I was 13. At first I shocked, then embarrassed and then as I thought about it, I grew a hard on. Not my fault couldn't help it, it sort of came natural. Hey, lay off you guys I was going thru puberty.
Hey there, you in the back, I hear you snickering.

U.S. inflation soars in April to 13-year high, CPI shows, and reveals fresh stress on the economy

The numbers: Consumer prices rose sharply again in April and drove the rate of inflation to the highest level in nearly 13 years, signaling greater stress on the economy as businesses grapple with supply shortages that are raising the cost of many goods and services.

The consumer price index soared 0.8% to match the biggest monthly increase since 2009, the government said Wednesday. Economists polled by Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal had forecast a milder 0.2% advance.

The rate of inflation over the past year jumped to 4.2% from 2.6% in the prior month — the highest level since 2008.

The pace of inflation has surged after years of languishing at unusually low levels largely due to the rapid reopening of the U.S. economy.

Businesses can’t keep up in demand, a problem exacerbated by ongoing bottlenecks in the global trading system tied to the pandemic. Computer chips are especially in short supply and that’s held up production of new autos and other manufactured goods.

Americans are also rushing to dine out, travel or go far away for vacation, activities they shied away from during the pandemic. That’s also driving up prices at popular vacation resorts and other venues where people plan to congregate.....(CONTINUED)

Here is the key.

Everything being bought right now is super inflated. The same products bought a few years from now will be back down to standard costs. This will make everything purchased right now lose value and flip. Houses, cars, BBQ's everything.

A 20' length of some 6SQ half wall tubing used ot be 20.00 per foot. Now its almost 60.00 per foot. when a building going up required 300 lengths of this material, thats a HUGE inflated cost that contractor has to incur, thus the end buyer has to pay for. Then when Steel goes down, so will the value of the property or building.

I bet @kjironman1 has a bit of insight on this.

I know in my arena we have SERIOUS concerns about the inevitable bubble burst that will happen.

Demand is extremely high right now also making amterial scares, extending lead times which also increases costs. so not only is the steel more, but the wait for it is longer. Its actually pretty nuts right now.

They are literally delaying jobs as we speak because of this. Don't think this is over. Combination of Covid related shutdowns and the price of building materials is gonna get real very fast.
PDX renovation just got delayed 6 months. Shut the gates for about 500 workers from all trades. We have 300+ on the out of work list.
The economy has been on a roll for about a decade. This thing is gonna reboot eventually. Sooner than later most likely.

Now they want to mess with the fuel pipelines? $4 a gallon is right around the corner. Bet on it.

Right-o. But knocking a girl up is a different story, especially a crazy one. That’s a life sentence.
