Technically, true, at the moment, but only because we had deflation the first few months after the pandemic, so the yoy comparisons look bad. But, he's probably not mentioning that people should have gotten negative raises last year.
Inflation is averaging 3.6% this year. If people get those 5.4% raises, then we'll have entrenched inflation, instead of temporary inflation.

Fewer people are going to Home Depot. This also is a potential sign that the housing boom is ending. (Among other things cited in the article.)
Restaurants are dealing with ingredient shortages.
Retail down more than expected.
Delta is blamed.

Maybe they actually bet on themselves? I dunno, I feel like they steal most anything.

GoPuff is the sort of thing that always reminds me that people with money aren't necessarily smart.
The concept of these delivery services are great, particularly with a population that is both busier and lazier. Not to mention all the covid shit. However, at no point does it seem like most of them seriously considered the people who would be doing the actual delivery. Shockingly, they want to get paid fairly and have a good work experience. Who would have thought!?

Oh I get that, but who doesn't plan ahead? Who doesn't see downturns coming? Why is this a shock to them in August 2021 considering the past two years?

Kraft cooked the books and gets a slap on the wrist.
This is bullshit. Jail time should be the fate of these assholes, not a small fine.
And not Club Fed either. I want them to be someone's bitch.
Seriously, what's the deterrent for white collar crime?
"We caught you stealing millions!"
"Oh noes! Am I going to jail?!"
"No, you'll need to pay a small fine and you can't work as a board member for a couple of years."
"So do you need me to pay all the money back?"
"No, keep it."

They didn't really steal, they just lied. Although, there should be an investor class action lawsuit already, i would guess.

I know they didn't steal, but it triggered another story I heard recently about someone who did and paid dick compared to what he stole.
They should still go to jail. We've got to stop allowing white collar crimes to go relatively unpunished.

Of course you can't find a video of it, but South Park had a great line:
"Asian culture has plagued our fragile planet for centuries. We must end it."

Mr. Garrison
Thank you for that presentation, Eric, but the assignment was on Asian cultures. You get a D-.
Cartman
Ah, dammit!
Mr. Garrison
Who should we call on next, Mr. Hat?
Mr. Hat
Well, how about Stan, our little South Park quarterback star?
Mr. Garrison
Oh, good idea. Okay Stanley, you're next.
Stan
Um, I'm not really prepared either.
Mr. Garrison
Well, just make something up, like Eric did.
Stan
Okay, uh... Asian culture has... plagued our fragile earth for many years. We must end it-
Mr. Garrison
Excellent. A-.
Cartman
Eeyy!
Stan
Wow, cool!
Cartman
Wait a minute, why the hell does he get an A-?
Mr. Garrison
Eric, Stanley just might lead our team to victory against the Middle Park Cowboys for the first time in decades. And we treat star athletes better because they're better people.
Cartman
That's not fair!
Mr. Hat
Life isn't fair, kiddo, get used to it.
Cartman
Stupid puppet.
