[QUOTE="SWHandldr, post: 2498790, member: 114858"] I'm not optimistic about Ukraine stabilizing. Events are driven by a delusional Russian demagogue willing to sacrifice the lives and fortunes of his own citizens. We can't count on rational outcomes. Covid is likely to be part of our existence for decades. I think it's unlikely to have the impact it had initially; humanity has coped with it rapidly compared to previous pandemics. But it will effect society and the economy for years if not decades, probably to a lessening degree over time. I'm in my sorta-early seventies. I don't expect a return to 2018 prices in my lifetime, even if I'm around another 20 years. . In 1979 I grossed $19K working retail in the DFW, TX area. Behind-the-counter inside sales, not management. That's almost $69.3K in Feb 2022. Know [I]anybody [/I]grossing $69K in retail today? Maybe in NYC, Miami or other high cost-of-living areas - but I doubt even there. The world is truly a different place. Some of the changes are for the better. Many aren't. [/QUOTE]
