  6. US INFLATION and supply chain remind us of doctors using rubbish bags for PPE under Trump and Freezing Texans when Cruz flew to Mexico.

    MAGATs & QANON ARE TOO SCARED to treat Oil company and Supermarket executives like they do Vote officials and Fauci.

    MAGATs & QANON ARE TOO SCARED to protest outside executives houses or to send them and their family members threats.

    Americans MOAN ABOUT INFLATION BUT PROTEST ABOUT MASKS?

  7. America has been at war for 81 years and bombed 32 countries since WWII that includes 14 Muslim countries.

    WTF – There are 2.5 million (64,112 troops) American military personnel permanently stationed across Europe.

    Ramstein Air Base, the biggest of 12 US bases in Germany, costs $1 billion annually. More for war less for US citizens.

    1999 James Bond movie "The world is not enough'. This time the baddies threatening the pipeline are Americans.

  8. Afghanistan was American weapons versus Russian weapons.

    American and Russian arms and drug dealers became billionaires. Afghans died.

    Ukraine is American and UK weapons versus Russian weapons.

    American, British and Russian arms dealers and oil companies become bigger billionaires. Ukrainians die..

  9. Oh no the economy is doing great. It's all transitory, remember?

  10. Rigged stock market, anyway….

  11. 5 or 6 rate hikes scheduled this year .

  12. Looks like I need to double the size of my garden and plant more of all those goodies I ate last year.

  13. Sell the rumor buy the news.

  14. Buy stock in Pharmaceuticals. In 1942, President Roosevelt signed into action the first biological warfare program; backed by the National Academy of Sciences, the initiative sought to develop biological weapons and explore vulnerability of the U.S. to such attacks. A government body — the War Research Service (WRS) — was created to oversee these activities, and George W Merck (of the Merck Pharmaceutical Company) was appointed to leadership. At his team’s directive, Fort Detrick, the United States’ biological warfare “headquarters,” was constructed in the small town of of Frederick, Maryland. The facility then embarked on top secret plan to stage open-air “biological warfare tests” using the unsuspecting American public.

    From 1951-1954, harmless organisms were released off both coasts of the United States to demonstrate the vulnerability of American cities to biological attacks. This weakness was tested again in 1966 when a test substance was released in the New York City subway system.

    In 1950, to conduct a simulation of a biological warfare attack, the U.S. Navy sprayed large quantities of the bacteria Serratia marcescens – considered harmless at the time – over the city of San Francisco during a project called Operation Sea-Spray. Numerous citizens contracted pneumonia-like illnesses, and at least one person died as a result. As leaves turned red, and as San Francisco segued into the smoky autumn of 1950, Edward Nevin lay dying in a hospital bed.

    A rare bacteria had entered his urinary tract, made its way through his bloodstream, and clung to his heart — a bacteria that had never been seen in the hospital’s history. Before researchers could hypothesize the bacteria's root cause, ten more patients were admitted with the same infection. Doctors were baffled: how could have this microbe presented itself?

    For nearly thirty years, the incident remained a secret — until Edward Nevin’s grandson set out to bring about justice.
    What ensued was a series of terrifying revelations: for two decades, the United States government had intentionally doused 293 populated areas with bacteria. They'd done this with secrecy. They’d done this without informing citizens of potentially dangerous exposure. They’d done this without taking precautions to protect the public’s health and safety, and with no medical follow-up.

    And it had all started in 1950, with the spraying of San Francisco.

  15. 11 of the top 12 states with the highest poverty rate are the Republican-led states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, West Virginia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas.

  25. Food price is my biggest issue. I don't have a car, so don't care. Food is more important than a car ! Use public transportation if you live in a major city. For the others….TOUGH !!!
