Greed Inflation
Are corporate profits driving greed-inflation? There are two commonly-accepted aspects of economics that determine prices.
Democrats vs Republicans

What if we are neither a registered party member of either clan? No political affiliation. That's what I am and just how it is.
Is that all there is? I am not independent. The AIP is best known for nominating former Democratic Governor George Wallace of Alabama. He carried five states in the 1968 presidential election running on a segregationist "law and order" platform against Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey. In 1976.
DEMOCRAT GOALS:
1. Keep Abortion legal
2. Defend Voter Rights
3. Balance the Budget

Billionaire Dreamer or Liar?

Tesla owner Elon Musk tries to back out of his $44 billion #Twitter buy, but the board is committed to the deal and pursues legal action.
The stage for a legal battle, could carry financial risks for the social network and further darken employee morale.
Did anyone really believe those #MAGA trolls and bots that Daddy Musk was going to Make Twitter Great Again? Is he just another grandstand mogul?
Miami’s Vice
Images
Pay attention to human beings who corrupt and corrode their intimate, social, and political relationships. Lying is a criminal vice.
However, treachery, disloyalty, and cruelty are also crimes that politicians become engulfed in for the need for power. We’ve seen this in local, state, regional and national politics.
The accursed vice and the most vile and all-corrupting of them all is lying. Since understanding is brought about by words, whoever breaks their word betrays society.
The S Word

I have neighbors who are loud and appear to enjoy it when we hear them, their loud car, or their dog in what was a once quiet area.
They make dumb remarks or send ridiculous messages and don't realize what they are saying. Are loud people lonely, or bitter because they need to be noticed?
Whatever happened to the vow of silence? Silence is beautiful, unsettling, and one of the finest religious movies ever made
Martin Scorsese’s film keenly understands Shūsaku Endō’s novel and challenges believers and nonbelievers.

GOP Strike Three
Images
The Republican Party has failed and is incapable of governing. They only deny, delay, and destroy this great nation our forefathers built.
US Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell’s response to the # MAGA-loving #HighlandPark murders was to say: "We have got to figure out some way to identify these troubled young men."
In June, all #GOP members blocked the following:
- Mandatory wait time for gun sales
- Permanently enhanced background checks
- Mandatory licenses for assault weapons
Another One Down
Images
Another one goes down with a quite few more worthless ones that have yet to step down after causing extensive damage to their nations.
British Prime Ministers Boris Johnson's resignation brings the curtain down on years of a tempestuous time in office that was marred by a succession of scandals that culminated in the rebellion of his own cabinet. Does any of this sound similar?
Boris resisted the calls but it became clear that he had lost the confidence of his MPs and that the government could no longer function.
