Pundits blame the Biden admin for #inflation, but the true villain is corporate price gouging.
This in-depth study documents how when supply costs went up a little, prices went up a lot. And when supply costs went down a lot, prices still went up.
And CEOs on earnings calls bragged about inflation goosing their profits.
Remember: The CEOs that are gouging us are all supporters of Republicans.

You know, there *is* a need for affordable housing, especially for seniors. That building would be an awesome geezerplex. They're not saying "why" they want to tear it down (I'm guessing for parking, though they say it'll just be too hard to maintain it).
I think the city needs to put its foot down NOW and say that space will NEVER be permitted to be a parking lot.

Let's talk about "balancing the ticket," shall we?
Kamala is a woman, so her VP should be a man.
Kamala is a POC, so her VP should be white.
Kamala is young-ish, so her VP should be an experienced elder statesman.
Kamala is from California, so her VP should be from New England.
Who meets all of these qualifications?
Bernie Sanders.
