Morning vent

Iran "war" - at Israel's behest is going to further impact our domestic economy (higher gas prices translating to more expensive delivery for every 'consumable' we need to live on)

'tariffs' - (taxes on us) from soon after the (mis)administration began - put the brakes on President Biden's economy that was moving along well for us.

domestic prices for just about everything - already high because shits-his-pants can't fix anything, and now going higher (see comment above regarding gas prices)

child rape and sex trafficking - utterly beyond the pale with the Epstein; this can and must have the brightest light shined on it; thus the ongoing cover up and distractions (see points above) boggles my mind.

the gazillion repeated lies daily about (whatever fox 'news' tells the mouth breathers to be frustrated about that particular day) - will need years of clean up from a sociological perspective

continuing assault on equality and voting rights for anyone who's not a wealthy old white male - eff that!

taxes - many of us are struggling but 'doing the right thing' and paying our taxes (personal and business) without question and you have gazillionaires bleeding us dry and paying less taxes per year that we are - what the hell?!?

There are many, many others but these are top of mind this morning.....

***************
Thanks for permitting this vent - writing things down tends to make the problems/concerns a little more manageable (tolerable?).
