I agree with your point here, but I also think that the way many Dems are insisting that this is the *only* issue they will discuss is bad politics. Politicians just don't have that much power over prices, so when they fail to bring them down they'll have nothing else to point to.

What I don't understand is why the ref lost control of the situation before that? It seemed like everyone was standing around for ages after the call before they walked off.

I have no desire for a protein drink that is fruit flavored and carbonated.
Also, it annoys me to no end that many places have dumped perfectly fine bean burgers in favor of making a meat-like burger the vegetarian option. But I get that tastes may vary there.

Phew, the number of times I've explained to non-parents that many of these camps have hours like 9:30-3:30.
And coordinating all of the different registration dates! I have some that already filled up and some that still haven't announced when registration will open.
