I think you're right. Traffic is crazier than it's ever been.

If these people aren’t working how the hell can they afford spending money every day?


Record low unemployment, Jack!

Charge $800/month. Something like that.

Would you consider applying to one of these gyms?
I have an idea for a private gym where you book your session by the hr and have the whole gym for yourself or your private group and membership price based on how many hours you want per week

Ofcourse the boomers were out in full force, but i usually expect them since they're retired. All benches to include the incline/decline were taken. All the free benches that I use for DB press were taken. All the cables were taken. Young guys were there in groups of 3 or 4 working out together. Numerous couples are there working out together.

I miss the days when most people were stuck at work and I could take advantage of an empty gym. those days are long gone

Strong coincidence. I went to the gym at 10am today (I always end the workday early on Fridays) and...mine was also packed, and I also just ended up leaving. It's normal for it to be crowded around that time, but it was worse than usual.

I've also wondered countless times "do none of these faygots have jobs?"

I don't think 80% of the population works anymore. Just 5-10 years ago the streets would be empty except for the brief rush hour time frames. This has been 24/7 for 2 years now at least.

Yeah that **** rustled me TBH, I left and went to another gym location closer to my workplace. While there were still a healthy amount of people at that gym, I could atleast get on the equipment I needed.

I can't even go to a gas station because it's too busy. There were like 25 people there today when i tried to get gas. How are people everywhere spending money 24/7 now? Even the parks are busy brb try to go for a walk or do a quick cardio and there are 20 people walking various kind of dogs.

People are getting government handouts end of story or most are bunking with family, roommates, etc to make the rent. So they can work part time and try to enjoy the millionaire lifestyle.

WFH? Please, most fukers are getting laid off and requiring to be back in the office. Thinking that shiit will last is laughable.

And mirin that vette, basically the same one except mine is in silver.

Truthfully, I was going to make a similar thread days ago.

Tons of people everywhere eating out, sitting at starbucks happily talking. Walking around. Tons of fuking cars on the road.

I know it's all illusion for sure when you know people are in massive debt and probably like 5 months into the eviction phase.

No you retard everyone still works just the same amount. The difference is no one is wasting time staring at the clock in their cubicle counting down the minutes to be let out of their cage between the moments of actual work that have taken place during the day.


LMAO at anyone ever thinking this country needed people to work a true 8 hours every single day of the work week. You're in denial my man.

Literally everyone I know is WFH bro. No one is going back. Misc just wants the world to be a miserable place like them so they fantasize the WFH saga has ended. It hasn't. You stop by any of these offices where they have hybrid schedules or whatever and it's a ghost town because no one shows up.

This is another thing. There are large groups everywhere now. Not just the occasional group of 3-4 you'd see coming to the gym or to play pickup basketball. You can just be at a restaurant and a group of 8-10 will walk in.

Your average gas stations have about 20 people at them now. Especially travel center ones. I literally see 25-30 people at them often. It's not even that tons of people are out either, every single place is packed now + lots of fairly long lines all across town. It doesn't even make sense to me. I was driving in it for around 5 hours today. It was too much to go into the stores.

You must not travel much. There are numerous large gas station chains AND travel centers that have tons of people at them.

How long till the house of cards come tumbling down? I don't see how any of this is sustainable

I'm shocked at how literally every drive through restaurant is SLAMMED at all hours of the day now. How are all these people eating fast food so often? Starbucks and chik fil A lines are around the block. My coworker brings his wife and kids to work almost daily and I kid you not, they order fast food via uberats/door dash THREE TIMES A DAY. McDonald's and chik fil A on a daily basis for these kids. How are people keeping this up?
