Inflation in the US is really hurting us. Eggs cost almost $6 a dozen, up from $3. All the staples are doubled in price. I understand why; the government printed a bunch of phony money to give to us during the pandemic, and now the bill is due. I wish the government would tax corporations and the wealthy more, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. I don't even watch the news anymore. It's all sad and bad. Mass shootings every day, more than one a day now. People not being able to get by, massive layoffs in tech and other industries. It's a worldwide recession. Sucks. All I can do is hope it will lessen over time and try to figure out how to get by with less. Thank God for rice!

I'm so sorry to hear of horrid inflation prices, including for eggs!

The mass shootings are also tragic.

At some point soon, better relief for the build-up into violence will start kicking in through USA can-do, and your people will once again show the world the way out of impasses like these.

What needs to overhaul too, is economy and work the same old way it used to be, pre-Covid, obsolete Industrial Revolution like.

The hoarding over-rich may not realise this, but the collapse of the working-class and middle-class poor, also heralds their doom, Masque of the Red Death, Edgar Allan Poe style.
