How am I coping, I don’t have a choice! Whether I’m coping or not we all have to do our best until it changes, if it does.

I was in Chicago 3 weeks ago & gas was as high as $3.70. & traffic looks as bad as it was in the 90’s.

Wrong. We CAN do something about it. Self inflicted wounds can be healed. Decisions have consequences.

So to answer your question....I'm good!!! :a040:
Unemployment claims are at a 52 year low - not unemployment. In October, 2021, the unemployment rate was 4.6 percent. That is not a 52 year low. The number of unemployed persons was 7.4 million. In February, 2020, the unemployment rate was 3.5 percent and 5.7 million were unemployed.

Good on you for explaining facts to the misguided that allow MSM to think and direct for them. No wonder we are in the situation we are in currently. We have people on MSM telling everyone that "all is OK, nothing to see here."

Chevron Premium is well over $5/gal in Orange County, CA where I came for Thanksgiving. It had been around $3/gal when I was here last, several months ago.

Ships are still lined up waiting at sea to get into LA and Long Beach Harbors. One's anchor broke an oil line a few months ago and caused a huge oil spill and oil slick. Stores are out of certain items and prices have gone way up. Shortages!

Look at used and new car prices; it is next to impossible to find a new car equipped just as one wants.

Although we are not yet circling the drain we are heading in that direction. What a mess!

Yep that’s why it’s such a great idea to give gigantic tax breaks to the wealthiest🤔

Inflation is here to stay as long as we suppress fossil fuel exploration, regulate, tax and flood the economy with borrowed dollars.

The top 10% paid over 71% of the personal income tax paid in 2018. In 1980 they paid slightly less than 50%.
