America and Business

 A day in America:

Today started off as a good cool day playing pickleball with some great friends and then a great lunch, but then it turned into a day from hell as can happen in America today!  I went to Walmart to purchase some grass seed to repair yard damage due to plumber issues.  I was unable to find that product due to the store only having large bags at a ridiculous price of a minimum of $50!  Stores seem to be out of what you want but have plenty of high-priced items.  Prices keep increasing every day. First it was supply chain issues, then after supply chain solved, they didn't lower prices they kept increasing prices!  Now it is tariff issues which have not taken place, but just in case they are increasing to cover an increase that hasn't happened yet!

I then went to Lowe's, but they didn't have any small bags of seed, just large, overpriced bags!  I then went to Home Depot which did have some small bags of seed, but unable to determine price due to UPC code and tag not matching. Small bags had very high prices which didn't match UPC codes so finally found a supervisor who was able to determine price, but didn't match upc code!  His reply was hard to get people to do the job right.  This seems to be a problem in business, finding people to work with the intelligence to do the job!  Maybe people need to be fired when not doing the job and supervisors need to inform managers to hire people who can read and count.  I then went to Kroger (where the CEO was recently fired for some reason not associated with the store overcharging customers) and I purchased two items (of course had to self-checkout) and the machine cheated me by one dollar after putting in exact coin change plus a five-dollar bill.  After those incidents I came home and thought about the state of American business and government.  We have a dysfunctional government, and it has rolled over to the business world!  We need all members of Congress to resign return all monies they have taken from the American public under false pretenses and get out of town!  Government and business in America are failing and we need to start over in this country!
