Despite given indications that goods and services should be going down in price or stabilizing, companies are rocketing up. People are still buying as much and more than they used to, if not as wide a variety. Fuel prices are stable considering the last 2 years. Services are still being provided where employers can keep staff and working what they have more than they used to. The pay is as shit as it was, though, maybe worse considering how damn high prices are going.

So why is that?

I'm in the middle of a job shift, considering I work 2 and wish to work more at my second than my first. It took some pretty tough circumstances to even get a second, let alone come to this decision. It still scares the hell out of me doing it. Throw in the fact my second job is also facing hour cutting due to fiscal-year-end budget cuts, now is certainly an unwelcome time to do so.

Is that the answer? Scare people into getting shit jobs and staying where things are considered stable even if those conditions are terrible? Better the devil you know than the uncertain future? Modern serfdom has been bandiabout for years by ignorant socialists, braindead commies, and comedians. But have those same useful idiots actually brought it into being?
