thanks, neil. neil: and new emphasis out of social security, the so-called cost of living slated next year. that s not finalized, but saying at the rate we re going the cost of living adjustment could be as high as 11.4%. that premium or benefits would increase about 11 1/2% which means that average social security payments would be about $192 more a month than they are right now working out about 1,875 for social security recipient. the devil is in the details and when you get it, whether at the full retirement or abbreviated benefits. to put that in perspective. that would be second only to 1981 in the heat of that inflation surge that we had back then when benefits increased 14.3%. but at the rate we re going and with inflation we re only talking three percentage points, but a big, big double
crisis. there seems to be a shortage everywhere you look. we talked about the airlines, but you have so many other people that talk about recruiting top talent. telling them when the start date is, then they don t show up. talk about the labor crunch and how it is impacting the economy. it s impacting in a big way. airlines laid people off, gave early retirement during the pandemic, and now are desperate for people to come back. why would they? i don t know. airports are a disaster. 6,000 canceled or delayed flights around america over the weekend. i tweeted out a picture. we had an issue with delta. we used the app to find out about a delayed flight. it said estimated wait time, 697 minutes. that is 11 1/2 minutes. i mean, it was 5:30 in the morning yesterday, but, still, 11 1/2 hours, it was only 4:00.
11 1/2, maybe as much as 12 feet in the coming days, as more rain is expected, not necessarily into flood stage, and that s good news, but you ve also got the snow pack. look at all of these areas where you see pink and purple. that s snow that s on the ground, that has the potential to melt. temperatures in this area are expected to get into the 70s told which in turn will melt some of the snow that s already there. in addition to that, we are expecting rain, albeit very light. most of these areas expecting at the absolute most about 1 inch. most areas likely less than a half of an inch. but again, it s the cumulative effect. when you put all of that stuff together, it triggers all of that melting, and all of that runoff for these areas. one thing to note, we do expect the temperatures to finally start to come back down. not being nearly as warm in this area, so for gardener, for example, highs tomorrow in the mid-60s and by monday, highs in the low 50s. that s good. again, it s the c
your first instinct is to do the tiktok on the 12 minutes that we re talking about here. those 12 minutes from the time that he emerges from the crashed car, fires a couple of shots across the street toward the funeral home, and 12 and 11 1/2 minutes later, finally enters the school. so the tick-tock on that, willie, is critical. when was the first 911 call logged? what s the time and distance between arriving officers in the area, things like that? you know, you re hesitant to second-guess anyone being confronted by an ar-15 and a crazed gunman, but the 12 minutes time, that is so critical in terms of what eventually happened. in all probability, sadly, realistically, once he enters the school, once he enters a classroom or classrooms, within 2, 3 minutes, the horrific deed is done. he has killed numerous numbers
month. but then remote work suddenly allowed him to move to austin, texas, where he bought a house with a yard. the monthly mortgage is $1,000 less than his san francisco rent. i don t see myself ever going back. reporter: in 2019, top earners in the bay area made 11 1/2 times as much as those at the bottom, the biggest income gap of any region in the state, according to a nonprofit and a nonpartisan public policy thinktank. and while san francisco s growth had already slowed in the decade before the pandemic, 2020 was the first year san francisco saw a population loss. some like jung gave up on the city s seemingly worsening problems on top of the pandemic. i was walking over leftover needles and drug paraphernalia. reporter: tents filled certain streets and wildfire smoke sometimes filled the air. there was a time period in 2020 when it was like holy moly, like what is going on? reporter: this business owner
