Price. Gouging. Polls have shown that people are aware of what is happening. It is happening all over the world. Transport cost goes up 10% so the manufacturers and retailers jump on it to get an extra 10%. The fossil fuel industry is going to make everyone hurt; they will not go quietly into the night. It just makes me want to "kill them" all the more, because they couldn't even be decent about this after the pandemic, when price stability is more important than ever.

The history and facts are a beautiful thing, thanks Thom. You started by talking about the Latino vote. I've noticed that every time the polls show Dems gained ground, someone in the media makes damn sure they punch back with bad news.

I am going to beat my drum in answer to how the Latinos skew left; they do. However, it's about the brain, stupid---not just the economy. A certain percentage of them are going to be conservative by their nature.

For the media, it's the horse-race, stupid.
