12+ Uvalde Children Could Have Been Saved If Police Responded Adequately

This is a point I have brought up several times. Even if the shooter had been contained (which turned out not to be true), many kids needed immediate medical attention. The long delay absolutely killed several children.

MSNBC: Here's how soon prices could go down again, according to experts

There’s not a solid answer, but 2022 seems the worst for inflation with prices leveling out by 2023.
Updated Thu, Jun 9 2022

Pinpointing how soon prices will go down again entails estimating large-scale contributors, such as when global supply chain issues will be resolved and when the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes will slow the economy enough to lower inflation. For this reason, and because think tanks, research organizations and economists use varying reasoning, it’s difficult to give a clear answer.

Some, like Alan Blinder, professor of economics and public affairs at Princeton and former vice chairman of the Fed, suggest that inflation will not last for years. “One day, hopefully soon, food and energy prices will level off and the supply chain problems will dissipate,” Binder writes in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed. When that happens, says Binder, ”...inflation will fall as quickly and dramatically as it rose. We’ve seen it happen before.”

In other words, prices could drop all of a sudden. Blinder also adds that raising interest rates won’t be the end-all solution to lowering inflation.

Investment research firm Morningstar gives a more granular prediction, saying that prices will fall precipitously by next year.

Matt Walsh Dr. Phil Debate // FULL UNEDITED

I wish they would bring up Hermaphrodites in these discussions to show that biology isn't always black and white even physically, so why must it be black and white mentally? What sex would Matt Walsh suggest a Hermaphrodite identify with since they have both male and female sex organs? Guys like Matt Walsh have a very simplistic way of seeing very complex and abstract issues. It's almost like many conservatives never developed abstract moral reasoning. They are still stuck in pre-conventional moral reasoning that children have at a young age.
