Hey Extra...
Today's headline:
"U.S. inflation hit a three-decade high in October, delivering widespread and sizable price increases to households for everything from groceries to cars due to persistent supply shortages and strong consumer demand.
The Labor Department said the consumer-price index—which measures what consumers pay for goods and services—increased in October by 6.2% from a year ago. That was the fastest 12-month pace since 1990 and the fifth straight month of inflation above 5%."
Forget about meds...no one is going to be able to afford anything pretty soon. And when pressed, Biden says oil prices are up to OPEC, he is unwilling to take any governmental action that will IMPROVE the situation.
The Secretary of Transportation took a month off work in the middle of a crisis in our ports because he and his husband had a baby. As the economy collapses, he's on maternity leave.
And when Peppermint Patty was questioned about the crisis in the ports and whether or not people would be able to get their Christmas presents this year, her response was, "The Federal Government has nothing to do with that...ask FedEx."
And not to mention the mask and vaccine mandates, as COVID rages on among the previously vaccinated, who are getting sick, and passing the virus on to other vaccinated and unvaccinated people...another news report from today:
Highly-vaccinated Vermont has more COVID-19 cases than ever

As Vermont reports higher than ever COVID-19 case rates, state health officials have been trying to understand why.
How can a state that did so well during the first part of the pandemic — even garnering national recognition — be doing so much worse now?
"There is not one simple answer," said Vermont Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine during a news conference Tuesday. "But, there are clearly factors that have come together to create the situation that we're in now."
Signs and posters that were up as the COVID-19 pandemic arrived in March 2020 remain on display July 20, 2021 at Esox bar in Burlington.

Slowing the spread is critical right now to prevent Vermont's hospitals from being overwhelmed with people sick with the virus, Levine said. He encouraged Vermonters to take the same preventative steps that have been preached throughout the pandemic: wearing masks, practicing physical distancing, staying home when sick and getting vaccinated.
"There's not one single solution to stop it," Levine said. "We do need to live with it, taking the simple and common sense actions for protecting one another as much as we can."
COVID case rates in Vermont right now
"Positive cases have been climbing in Vermont in recent weeks despite the state's having one of the highest vaccination rates against the virus in the U.S. Cases rose last year around this time as well as people spent more time indoors, but the state still enjoyed one of the lowest case rates in the country then.
Cases in Vermont have increased by about 55% over the last 14 days, according to a modeling report by Financial Regulation Commissioner Mike Pieciak. Some recent days have seen daily cases spike above 400 — the highest Vermont has seen since the beginning of the pandemic."
So sweep it under the rug if YOU wish...recent elections have shown that the People know what is happening, and intend to take action at the ballot box. Your days in "power" are numbered.
