If inflation comes up at the BBQ today, don’t forget to draw attention to a deeper structural driver of high prices: the concentration of the economy in the hands of a few corporate giants with the power to price-gouge, even as they rake in record profits.
Trump called fallen service members "losers" and "suckers" — according to his chief of staff — he publicly accused soldiers with PTSD of not being "strong," demeaned POWs, and insulted Gold Star parents & a widow. When he pretends to honor service members today, don't believe it.
Every corporation that jacked up their prices during the supply chain collapse could have reverted their prices sooner. Few if any chose to do so. Target is no better (or, I suppose, worse)?
Justice Samuel Alito flew not one, but two pro-insurrection flags at his homes.
