(#5914) While prices keep going up the decolorizing to white continues

      It isn't like the bills stay static. They are if anything increasing in every respect. Increased costs at the market, in utilities, in insurance, even in property tax. Ever since Covid and the supply chain debacle trump created by not addressing Covid in a successful way prices have gone up on everything. With fewer laws for preventing collusion being enforced the practicality of prices ever going back to being lower is a dream now. Competition used to keep prices down as each supplier would try to get more of a market share. But now with suppliers getting huge profits with little oversight it is easier for suppliers to illegally agree with greater impunity to prices that are inflated than to actually compete against each other over quality and quantity.
     We are surely becoming a cookie cutter nation where everything seems to look and taste the same. Our conformity to uniformity is a sad state of affairs. Gone will be the days of the varied colors in our products and services. The fun is being wiped out of our society so that some may enrich themselves without making meritful effort. The uniqueness is being curtailed out of our society so that obedience to the uninspired is the rule. In short, we are being molded into a people that cannot think and act for themselves for fear that a castigating reckoning will occur. All for the sake of some few who want more than all that there is.
   It would be unfair of me to not also mention the continued devaluation of women under trump. Where women are removed from decision making positions in our government along with people of color. The misogyny and racism are two prongs of the same fork for trump. While he enriches his cabal he undercuts the rights of all people. I am a white man who is ashamed of trump and his followers. They are the worst of what we the people are and their quest to make us all like them is still in full on mode. What is happening right before our eyes is the majority of most of us citizens quickly moving closer to poverty while the few white sycophants of trump move closer to massive unlimited wealth. In the meantime I am trying to stay ahead of my bills.
