    Amazing how the one company that was a joke in the movie Idiocracy is actually the one company saving us from a complete fascist takeover.

      Costco is looking at the enormous shortfall in human labor, flipping open its Econ 101 textbook, and deciding “High demand? Low supply? Price must go up.”

      That’s not “fighting fascism” just running a business intelligently. I’ve heard similar stories from HEB, from my local auto repair guy, and from a few neighboring restaurants. Businesses are struggling to keep staffed so income pressure is rising.
