Yes, it is. I am not 100% certain it is on them, and I did just yesterday
see a local newspiece about it. I believe that part of what got it burried
was the Democrat switcheroo that happened shortly after.
IMHO, part of what got the Democrats moving to replace Biden was his poor debate
performance, but the other part was to make sure Trump getting shot didn't get
too many news cycles. So, they came up with a big story of their own.

Indeed. I am pro-choice also and that is what both sides wanted in the
past. It does put it in the people's hands, which I like, but I am
concerned that some states are so strict now that you might have to carry a baby
to term even if your life is in danger.
We had a governor candidate (R) that wanted to be able to track the travel
habits of women in child bearing years to make sure they weren't traveling
to Illinois to receive care. I am so glad he lost.

Overall, I agree. I believe both groups of people did bad things and those
people who did bad things need to get in trouble. However, the government
(and press) on the whole seems to only believe that to be true for the Jan 6
group, which is very wrong.

Glad he was with you, and hope it didn't traumatize him too much. I am
lucky in that my town didn't have any widespread issues, just a few minor
ones, and was nothing like Louisville.

I visited the West Coast (AZ and CA) about this time last year. I was
shocked at how much higher fuel was in (most of) Western AZ and in
California. Other things were a lot higher, too, which I suspect is
related to fuel being so much higher out there. At the time, fuel was
75%-100% times more than it is here, depending on what part of CA I was in,
and it was 3x more than a few places I drove through between here and there.
Right now it is about 33% higher here than in 2019. Depending on what you
are buying, food is anywhere from 25%-100% higher.
Some people will point out that "companies are making record profits now."
I can't disagree but would also point out that you usually do make profits
when some of your competitors can no longer afford to stay in business.
