Claremont:

Quiet and peaceful where I am.

Decided lack of food delivery. Very severe.

What do you mean you can only order from Tremont or Ramuntos?

It cost me more in gas to drive to Taco Bell on Washington St than it did to pay for the meal.

And Taco Bell is offline for almost a month due to losing one of the freezers. Not the worst thing about Claremont, but I miss having access to varieties of food, and restaurants open past 8pm.

Did Claremont Country Cafe on Washington St ever open back up? Last time I was in town it had closed down indefinitely due to "lack of staff". Coincidentally a new breakfast placed opened up where Dusty's used to be. I wonder if they hired all the staff.

Selfish of me, certainly, but global staffing crisis is upsetting my love of food. It's gonna be a few years before that normalizes, between the excess virus deaths and all the early retirements. My predictions say late 2024/early 2025, and places like Claremont will small populations could linger longer.

"Nobody wants to work" became "the world experienced a massive job vacuum due to millions of people literally dying" Can you have negative unemployment? Maybe.
