    Around Chicago at least, demand for hiring seems to have gone down, and rates have remained in the 300/500 1/2 hour range, usually lower.

    For the first time since the pandemic,  I've had providers message me on RM without any prompting on my part (I hide my RM browsing history).

    So here at least, supply and demand is working properly. 

    I’ve seen the same thing: providers reaching out. One asked if I were in “client” mode yet? When I asked who he was he replied “just a rent boy who hasn’t given up on you”.

  2. I love to negotiate with car dealers and occasionally help friends with purchases, which grates on the salesperson. I always ask about financing or leasing, since the dealer makes more that way. When I get the price I want, I then pay cash, unless they offer 0% financing, which I got for my Subaru Outback Limited XT in 2021. I also make it clear that if they attempt to waste my time with GAP or extended warranties that I will walk out. The salesperson isn’t my friend; he’s my sparring partner. As others have said, they won’t sell the car at a loss, so the back and forth is simply kabuki theater.

    I also make them remove any dealer decal or license plate frame, unless they want to pay me a monthly advertising fee.

  3. I’m planning to hire a sweet dancer who works at BJ Rooster’s. I’m thinking of dropping by the night before our session to meet and perhaps sample him as an appetizer. For those in the ATL area, is BJ Rooster’s still worth visiting? Gracias!

  4. I’m also better off financially. My income properties have all doubled in value since 2015. My tenants maintained their payments through the pandemic and I’ve been able to get steady increases as leases renew. My portfolio is well invested and diverse and I have other real estate development investments. Great health and friends. I’m thankful for my good fortune.
