The families are feeling the Bidenflation with higher shipping costs, higher fuel costs, heating their homes, electricity is higher, diesel fuel higher, contributing to inflation on all products. The cost of living is eating away at the buying power of the average person and family. They can't afford the extras anymore.



The stuff is sitting in the warehouses now and the trucking industry has nothing to move . This WSJ story says it is slowing because the products are not moving .

I agree. Bush 2 messed up by taking the hunt for OBL and then dropping the ball and going back to Iraq to just get even for what his father failed to do.

Not sure i can buy that. If there is a God when who or what made him? And who made the person that made God and on and on. No one knows jack. Until someone dies and comes back and tells us then we will never know bro.

Trucking companies are closing their doors, they have no freight, they’re laying off drivers for the first time in 40 years. And it’s happened suddenly. This lag behind what you see on the news and on financial reports by about 6 to 8 weeks. The you know what is going to hit the fan. I’m talking like smacked upside the head all at once, Fire storm recession.
The worst ever is coming once we have a world wide nuke war. Won't be many buying anything after that.

Humans are always learning. We no longer believe the earth is flat. New information leads to new inquiry.

I used to give a copy of the book "Your God Is Too Small" to all the 7th graders when they finished confirmation. I need to re read it myself.

Some people think in order to be a 'good' Christian one must obey the Ten Commandments. But they vote for serial adulterers.

I'm a Sermon on the Mount Beatitudes person my self.

Yes, one must obey the Ten Commandments and assuming you were referring to Trump how was voting for him against the Ten Commandments? There is hardly a president that hasn't had a skeleton in their closet. Is it a sin to vote then?

The sinners themselves have to answer to God not the voters. Voting should be based on a candidate's ability to lead this country not what sins they have or haven't committed.
