The Fed raised interest rates again. That’s the eighth consecutive hike. They say even more are coming.
This puts workers and consumers on the frontline of fighting inflation.
But corporations largely responsible for driving up prices get away scot-free.
It's outrageous.
Here it is 8 o'clock at night and still 60⁰F. A shame it will be 20⁰ by Friday night.

The quality of Republican hatred - Palmer Report
When I first saw Meghan Markle it was readily apparent she was not "lily white". After all, I have eyes. I could see her beauty was enhanced by her color. And then when it became apparent she was very intelligent, I thought Harry was doing really well for himself. It's really disappointing to see so much racism in England.
