Yes, unions have the best response to rising costs: contracts with COLAs on wages.
Prices (other than gas) don’t magically come down. Wages must come up.

Be alert and careful on Metropolitan Branch Trail. On Nov 4, 8AM, at picnic table at Alethia Tanner Park, heard someone behind me say "take it", teenager grabbed the handlebars of my bike. I grabbed the handlebars, said, "stop". He kept pulling, I said "stop" again, he let go.

Music was once a safe haven for people who struggled to fit in elsewhere. These days, not so much.
It's impossible for me to believe this man had an iq of 62. This is simply perfection.

Rahm Emanuel drives me crazy. His disdain for labor unions is sickening. But, unlike other moderates about whom I cannot figure out why they want to be elected, he has ideas and programs. For example, he could reform immigration. I would hate 40% of it. washingtonsun.com/perspectiv…

Los Lobos were saddened to hear of the passing of our hermana Dolores Huerta, whose relentless spirit and passion will certainly live on. In 1962, Dolores stood at the forefront of a historic movement that would change the course of American history.

Thinking of Dave Edmunds. Besides being a great guitar player and a wonderful band leader, he is a gifted vocalist, covering George Jones, John Fogerty, and the Everly Brothers. Dave Edmunds - The Race Is On youtu.be/q7HiqrTlF94?si=cmfs… via @YouTube

Academic and political polling careers are being built on the study of "three-time Trump voters".

Kushner's dad probably schooled him that higher-ups must be allowed to wet their beaks.
Details, shmetails. He better have thrown some of that $2B up to the now clearly demented boss, or else he could be in real trouble.
