Thursday’s Reading: Mark 4-7
Happy Thursday, Broadsiders! Wearing name brand sports apparel does not make you an athlete. Just sayin’.
Resident Biden has been in office for just nine months and has managed to completely undo all that President Trump accomplished in four years. CNN headline: “Prices keep soaring: Inflation rockets to a 13-year high.”
Inflation is at a 13-year high. “The consumer price index, the nation’s key inflation measure, jumped 0.9% in June, the largest one-month increase in 13 years. Over the last 12 months, prices were up 5.4%, the biggest jump in annual inflation in nearly 13 years.”
The price of gasoline is fueling a large part of the increase. “Gas prices rose 45.1% compared to a year earlier.”
Food prices are rising. “Food prices are up 2.4% in the last 12 months, but prices for dining out rose 4.2%.”
The cost of used cars is up, too. “Used car prices were up 10.5% in June — the largest one-month jump in records that go back nearly 70 years, and a stunning 45.2% over the last 12 months.”
Your heating bills are going up this winter. “With prices surging worldwide for heating oil, natural gas and other fuels, the U.S. government said Wednesday it expects households to see their heating bills jump as much as 54% compared to last winter.”
The number of foreigners trying to enter our country illegally is at record highs. Pew Research tells us, “The U.S. Border Patrol reported nearly 200,000 encounters with migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border in July, the highest monthly total in more than two decades.”
Supply chains are backed up. “[S]hipping a parcel from Shanghai to Los Angeles is currently six times more expensive than shipping one from L.A. to Shanghai.”
We’re quitting our jobs in record numbers. “Almost 3% of workers handed in their resignations in August, a record, the government reported Tuesday. The number of people quitting rose to 4.3 million, dwarfing the number of layoffs from employers, who cut 1.3 million jobs the same month.“
Healthcare workers who left their jobs rose year-over-year. “About 534,000 health care workers quit their jobs in August, up from about 404,000 during the same month in 2020.”
Women are quitting at a faster clip than men. “And women are quitting their jobs at a faster pace than men are, according to data from payroll services firm Gusto, which focuses on small businesses. Its analysis found that 5.5% of women quit their jobs in August, compared with 4.4% of men — a gender gap that’s the largest Gusto has seen since it began tracking the issue in early 2020.”
Our military is being degraded via discharging conservative soldiers and anti-vaxxers. “An estimated 350,000 of our military service members are being dishonorably discharged for refusing to take a completely unnecessary and experimental mRNA nanotech injection, which is now proven to degrade immune systems and cause many serious side effects.”
But at least we don’t have any more mean tweets!
Time is running out to confront the clowns wrecking our country.
