INFLATION is happening.
Do you know another, dirty secret WHY ( it isn't President Biden or supply chain)?

EXTRA PROFITS 💰

The WSJ says "Executives are seizing a once in a generation opportunity to raise prices to match and in some cases outpace their own higher expenses" From the Wall Street Journa...
"a measure of profits for all U.S. corporations, as a share of gross domestic product, in the second quarter of this year was the second highest recorded since 1960. "

Did I mention that Elon Musk blocked me a few years ago because I started calling out his BS early on?

I recently heard an NPR report that raised concerns about Tesla & Solar City that my first paid article pointed out back in 2013 - web.archive.org/web/2013123113…

Looking at Virginia and so many other races: Democrats play it safe with messaging.

We have a system setup now where mediocre strategies/strategists, PR consultants, managers, etc. play it safe and generally LOSE.

1/
We have to use tools of psychology to FIND what is effective with voters and DEPLOY them broadly.

We must CONTROL the narrative as best we can. Virginia was an abject failure. CRT isn't in schools and parents do have control. Did you hear any messaging around that?

2/
No. We let the gqp grab that and run with it, while subtly trying to deny it. The simple message to stop it in it's tracks was:
There is no CRT in school and parents already set curriculum through the process.

I used to live near a WWII veteran in farmland Minnesota. He kept the nicest garden of flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees, at least an acre's worth. He was old and lived in a very modest house with his wife of 60+ years amongst the corn & soybean fields.

Bud and I would talk every time we had a chance.

One day, I was talking with Bud and I asked him about the amount of time he spent tending to his majesty of nature.

He looked at me, and a tear formed in the corner of his eye.

Bud wasn't a man who'd ever shown me emotion.

2/
He asked me if I'd heard of the Battle of the Bulge. I said yes, one of my grandfathers was there fighting in the Army.

Bud said, "good, then you know about it. Do ya know that there was a north and south that was split by the Nazis?"

No, I didn't.

I have certain family members who support only strict, limited, “legal” immigration.

It was time to address it head-on after getting another message about it.

1/
I wrote: One of my forebears crossed illegally into the US from Canada after being turned away at Ellis Island (I believe).

He likely would’ve died in the Old Country as they were busy rounding up the Jews.

2/
According to what I’ve been told, he crossed with Kirk Douglas’ dad. So neither I nor the Douglas family would be here, and likely wouldn’t be alive, if they hadn’t crossed “illegally”.

Microsoft Bing is censoring search results here in the US for the Chinese government.

Let that sink in for a moment.

I just checked Bing and only saw tanks, checked Google and it shows the iconic images.
Here is Google
And here is Bing
