You do not care about the facts.

Food prices are spiking for a bunch of reasons. First off, the pandemic really
messed up supply chains, making it more expensive and difficult to get food to
stores. Then you’ve got inflation pushing up the costs of production and
transportation. Extreme weather, like droughts and floods, has also hit crop
yields hard, and a lot of this can be tied to man-made climate change – which
Republican policies, resisting environmental regulations, just make worse. On
top of that, the war in Ukraine is messing with global markets for essentials
like wheat and sunflower oil.

But there’s also a labor shortage hitting the farming and food industries. A
big part of this is tied to Trump’s focus on cutting back immigration, which
reduced the available workforce for jobs like farm labor and food processing.
Fewer workers mean higher costs, and that all adds up, making food prices
climb even more.

Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine

Four more reasons to not vote for Trump in 19 days.

50) Trump said he'd hire only the best people in the world.
But his campaign chair was convicted of multiple crimes.
So was one of his closest associates. His deputy campaign
chair pleaded guilty to crimes. So did his personal lawyer,
his national security adviser, the chief financial officer of
his business campaign, a campaign foreign policy adviser, and
one of his campaign fundraisers. They all committed crimes and
Trump pardoned most of them!

51) Trump said he'd drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. but he
appointed more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls to his
administration than any administration in history.

52) Trump intervened to get his son-in-law, Jared Kushner,
Top Secret clearance after he was denied over concerns about foreign influence.

53) Trump hosted a Russian foreign minister in the Oval Office
where Trump revealed top secret intelligence.

54) Trump promised that the average American family would see
a $4,000 pay raise because of his tax cuts for the wealthy and
big corporations. Well, how did that work out? Did you get a
$4,000 raise? Of course not! Nobody did!

Not as long as Republicans have control. Things like renewable energy and mass
transit are clearly socialist in origin. Real capitalists live in fireplace

It is the Reagan era abolition of the Fairness Doctrine that has lead to our
current division in this country. Every leader of this country since Lincoln
has endeavored to unite and enrich all Americans.

Reagan chose instead to divide and impoverish working people and that policy
continues to bear evil fruit.

Four more reasons to not vote for Trump in 19 days.

50) Trump said he'd hire only the best people in the world.
But his campaign chair was convicted of multiple crimes.
So was one of his closest associates. His deputy campaign
chair pleaded guilty to crimes. So did his personal lawyer,
his national security adviser, the chief financial officer of
his business campaign, a campaign foreign policy adviser, and
one of his campaign fundraisers. They all committed crimes and
Trump pardoned most of them!

51) Trump said he'd drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. but he
appointed more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls to his
administration than any administration in history.

52) Trump intervened to get his son-in-law, Jared Kushner,
Top Secret clearance after he was denied over concerns about foreign influence.

53) Trump hosted a Russian foreign minister in the Oval Office
where Trump revealed top secret intelligence.

54) Trump promised that the average American family would see
a $4,000 pay raise because of his tax cuts for the wealthy and
big corporations. Well, how did that work out? Did you get a
$4,000 raise? Of course not! Nobody did!

Why? It makes no sense. It's a non sequitur left field question. How about
instead, you ask about SS COLAs or retirement account indexes? That, at least,
would address objective data and avoid the trap of "feelings".
