Well, I did it. Gave my notice today..
Just too stressful and too tired of being overworked. Need to take better care of myself. Nothing firm lined up yet but have some feelers out there and in my field it should be easy enough getting something better with more reasonable expectations.
Feels good!

He also increased the capital gains to 28% so there was parity between those who work for a living and those who live off their wealth. Today the top CG is 20% and the top income is 37%.
Also he lowered the rate from 70 to 50 in 81 then 50 to 28 in 84.

Reagan lowered capital gains to 20%, reduced estate taxes, and cut the highest rates from 70% to 50% while lowering the lowest end from 14 to 11% in ‘81. Realizing these cuts would skyrocket the budget deficit, he taxed Medicare and Social Security benefits. Average income grew 75% in the 1980s but the median income only increased 10%.

My high school senior daughter just quit her retail job. No clue what was the last straw but I'm amazed she made it this long before walking out of a retail job. She can go get her grocery store job back in a heartbeat. But I'm good with her taking a break from that kind of customer facing work until Omicron settles down. Standing there at a checkout with non stop customers talking to her for hours has to be risky. I had just now convinced her to entertain KN95s instead of surgical masks. But, those will be good for school too.
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Piece on 60 minutes last night about the GR. The piece seemed to be oriented towards white collar workers (the main interviewee was an economist from Linkedin. How many ditch diggers are on Linkedin?) A good proportion of those leaving the workforce--at least the white collar workforce--consists of older workers retiring early and women with preschool and school age children, for obvious reasons.
One thing I haven't seen talked about and which may cause workforce shortages to persist after the pandemic is the changing demographics in the US (and other first world countries). Decreasing birthrates, an aging population with time and money to spend, and a decrease in immigration means the pool of potential workers will continue to shrink while demand for goods and services grows. In addition, shortages of day care workers will further reduce the ability of people with kids (mostly women) to work.
These factors also bode ill for inflation.
