Clem Burke, whose energetic, versatile drumming provided the beat for the band Blondie as it churned out post-punk, disco and rock hits in the late 1970s and early ’80s — and then again after the band re-formed in 1997 — died on Sunday. He was 70.

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech.
Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from:
- Being able to afford groceries
- Much of their retirement savings
- Any hope of buying a home
As for lower prices? Just the opposite.
