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

DEI is not a replacement for meritocracy. It guarantees access to the meritocracy.

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.

The federal government owns 27% of all land in America.
