INFLATION IS RUNNING AT 9%; (INFLATION IS A GLOBAL ISSUE, TRIGGERED BY A GLOBAL PANDEMIC -- BOTCHED BY TRUMP -- AND BY PUTIN -- ENABLED BY TRUMP -- ATTACKING UKRAIN, WHICH DISRUPTED OIL, NATURAL GAS, AND FOOD SUPPLIES); WAGES ARE UP 8%; THAT 1% GAP, THOUGH. I'D RATHER HAVE OLIGARCH DONALD TRUMP, AND HIS BUNCH OF CORRUPT NUT JOBS IN POWER, SO WE CAN HAVE 8.99% INFLATION AND 8% LOWER PAY. MY RECORD PROFITS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. MUST BE BECAUSE OF THOSE CLEAN ENERGY WACKOS. SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT TO ME.
