    I think this is pretty much accurate. Inflation is basically 100% corporate price gouging, if it was a natural phenomenon the prices of everything would rise at the same time instead of the huge disparities we're seeing between different sectors of the economy. Marxian economist Richard Wolff does a great job of explaining it. I think a lot of leftists are alienated by academic economics, because they only teach free market rules as if they are laws of nature, and therefore might feel less confident debating whether inflation is some magical act of god versus of a conscious policy.

    I'm allergic to this shit. I had to go to the ER for a cat bite once and they said - good thing you remembered you were allergic because otherwise we were going to give you some and the reaction can be quite nasty.

    He's a weaselly scumbag who immediately poisoned the well by telling people masks don't make a difference. His justification was to keep non-medical professionals from hoarding masks, but he destroyed all trust right out the gate except for braindead MSDNC libs.

    I honestly don't know how to interpret this, is she going to retire to spend time with her husband or has this motivated her to never retire so the terrorists don't win?
