Anyone else finding it difficult to contact local tradies lately? Multiple contractors who I've trusted to do work for me in the past have all seemingly gone AWOL over the past few months (no longer respond to texts, websites still active but not updated since early 2020, etc.)

Raptured? Out of business? Fled the state? Fucked up by long covid or vax?

It seems like in the United States the coronavirus exercise has convinced a lot of people that it is not necessary to work. All of the tradesmen in my area are overwhelmed with work. The wealthy have a lot of cash to spend right now, and the tradesman cannot find any employees to help them out. Real wages have jumped about 25% for the working class because of this. It is fucking crazy. They’re not answering phone calls here either because they have work booked for the next six months, 70 hours a week.

I don’t think that legalizing marijuana helped either. These people are content to work a couple days a week at a shitty part time jobs so they can afford to buy a little pot. They don’t think of them self as “lazy” they think of themselves as “free”.
