I keep telling my family and friends that the tariffs and uncertain economic times feel like COVID in a lot of ways to me.

It’s not as chaotic or abrupt but I can’t deny the parallels.

After 30 years of publication, the U.S. Department of Agriculture abruptly canceled its annual report on the prevalence of hunger in America. The USDA’s press release condemned the report as “politicized,” “subjective, liberal fodder” that did “nothing more than fear monger.”

I haven't read the book, but I have heard the book is worse. I'm actually little hesitant to read it. Already had that happen with a movie a watched before reading the book and I had to put the book down because I felt lied to.

Recently Minority Leader Jeffries was interviewed and I noticed he was blinking...alot. Haven'tseen this from him before. Prior to the interview, he had two SM posts using rap from particular 90's artists. Unless, I am wrong..and I'm open to saying that he has hit his 'F It' button.
