The Today Show on NBC aired a report Friday that highlights double digit inflation for lunch items that workers are confronting as they return to their offices as the pandemic wanes. To make matters even worse, the report notes that making lunch at home is also more expensive with an inflation rate of nearly ten percent. Either way the report adds, wages are not keeping up with inflation so workers are falling further behind. One woman interviewed said she has resorted to eating toast for lunch or dinner. Wraps are up 18 percent, sandwiches up 14 percent, tacos up 12 percent, salads up 11 percent and burgers up 8 percent. Groceries are up 8.6 percent.
Two different reports were aired: TRENDING: HUGE: GOP Donor Confidante Goes Public — Accuses Karl Rove as Man Behind Disgusting Hit Piece on Missouri Senate Candidate Eric Greitens Excerpt from Vox’s Recode this month on wages not keeping up with inflation. You got a raise last year or switched jobs to get one. Congratulations! You’re one of the many Americans who saw their paychecks get bigger. Unfortunately, unless your wages or salary grew much higher than the national average of 4.5 percent last year, inflation likely canceled it out. That means that while you might be making more money, you can buy less stuff with it. That’s bad news for you, but it’s also probably bad news for your boss. Employers are struggling to retain and attract workers amid the Great Resignation, a broad term to describe the past couple of years, when workers have been quick to leave for better pay or greener pastures. If inflation continues apace, we could be trapped in a cycle of rising wages only to see those gains wiped out by inflation. If inflation calms down, as economists expect, […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
