Gee, voters who are using the temporary inflation issue as an excuse to

[LuckyCharms]

vote for the other side are really going to be shitting themselves when their Social Security and Medicare vanish permanently.

But I guess that concept may require a little too much thought for some on the other side.

1. And if they really think the R's will stop the price gouging

By the wealthy corporations that fund their political careers, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell them.

5. Our "friends" the Saudis

They fit in with Putin and Trump, but champions of democracy not so much.

Time to dump them and their oil. Fossil fuels are on the way out.

2. In the last 6 months, our family

income has more than tripled. Go figure.

6. They'll try to divide and conquer if they win

They always do.

They'll try to sell current and near-term retirees on screwing medium-term retirees and the young. They'll try to sell all Americans on the idea that SS and Medicare should be brought up for a vote every few years (so they can take everyone hostage every few years like they do with the debt ceiling).

If Republicans win in 2022, I think we'll be looking at a much better 2024.
