Customer Reviews
Plain one is the best
It’s just so much of a story👌👌
Debate over inflation
Great stories and information.
With regards to inflation, why does it go up when the common folk get money but not when corporations get tax cuts or bailouts? And why is it inflation at all when corporations are posting record profits? Shouldn’t this just be called door for taking driving up costs?
