This is one of the most beautiful essays I have ever read.
I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them.

Stop falling for the trap of latching on to the price of an item (eggs, beef…) as the message. Prices rise and fall. The issue is actual affordability for average people. From 2001-2023 wages failed to keep up with rising costs. Medical premiums rose 301% Travel expenses were up 170%. Rent grew by 131%. The cost of raising children grew by 107%. (1/2)

60% of all vegetables in the U.S. come from Mexico. 50% of all fruit/nuts. If you live in the U.S Northeast or upper midwest, most of your electricity is powered by Energy from Canada. Economists expect the 25% tariffs will cost the average U.S. family an extra $250/month.

Nancy Pelosi could announce now, that since Speaker Johnson has worked well with Democrats and intends to keep on doing so, she will be voting for him for Speaker. Fun chaos in the GOP conference would ensue.
