On the flip side, UPS just upped drive pay to $44/hr (a lot of news outlets are saying $170k a year or some bullshit, because they don't understand pay vs pension/benefits).

That's ~$80k a year for UPS drivers, and magazines like Forbes are praising it as some kinda magic of the Biden economy, when really it's an indication of insane runaway inflation. A $190k house from 5 years ago is now $300k. Rent is skyrocketing, even in small cities. It's not a win for UPS drivers to make a half way decent baseline when adjusted for the reckless money printing of the scamdemic + modern monetary theory. It's a sign every single company will have to increase wages or close down to keep up with record money printing.
