So inflation: There is oil and gas, but let's look at shipping. One of my daughters is a CFO for a small corporation that ships a lot of product by truck, and rail, and boat? She said containers that were $2,000 or $3,000 less than a year ago are now running $14,000 dollars. So as Robert Reich keeps saying, the inflation is mostly the big corporations price gauging. Yes, supply and demand, and where government needs to step in for the good of society, which always has to take precedent.

"It is important to know who are the good guys and who are the bad guys," Is Jon Testor a good guy? What about Jackie Rosen? Does Your Member Of Congress Vote With Or Against Biden? \| FiveThirtyEight == "of course she put thumbs down on a $15 minimum wage." So does Rat, and Bernie puts his foot down on $11, so nothing happens. == I'm already anticipating blaming the progressives in '24 for primarying us out of her seat. We'll be lucky if Kelly wins, but wtf, let's nominate a potential squad member.
