re: #3 A Cranky One

Drove Mrs Cranky to UHAUL to pick up a van to move stuff to/from her mom’s house (as she deals with the estate).

She commented on all the newly constructed trucking/warehouses being built in the area. I pointed out that the economy is strong, unemployment is down, the stock market is up and inflation is under better control in our country and so it isn’t unexpected.

And even though she stays fairly informed, she wasn’t aware. Then she asked why the Biden campaign isn’t pushing those facts.

Sigh.

It’s the same way that if you tune into the local news, you’d swear that crime is every bit as bad as the darkest days of the 1970s and you can’t walk down the street without a very real danger of being shanked, robbed, or raped.
