According To The People Who Make The Call, We're Not In A Recession

My father lived through the depression while I coasted through the golden 50's.
His father got here from Finland just after 1900. First job? The mines. I can only imagine those conditions.

I have felt this way since my 30's.
I also get what you are saying.

I have never thought STEM workers lacked effort.

Yep, I knew instantly it deserved it's place with the Twin Towers coming down and should even be right there with Pearl Harbor, also!

The story is still developing. Just skimming the headlines there are even some trying to blame Dems! I'd like to see what develops this afternoon before I start hollering at politicians.

House Passes Assault Weapons Ban Bill/And About That Burn Pit

Some of the issues are not that clear cut. There are still people claiming Biden's effort to reduce inflation will increase inflation.
Some popular Dems have in the past said one does not raise taxes when the economy is slow.

Not mixing up anything. I said "issues", that is plural for some of the debate going on in DC now. And it is a debate because there are smart people on both sides agreeing or disagreeing if that bill will reduce inflation or not.

"alternative news sources"
I can tell I read many more sources than Rod and probably you. A problem is how much stuff they add to the bills. So their easy defense is, "I didn't like the bs so and so added. So gotta be against it.
