This is actually a CNN article, which is being shared with lots and lots of local news outlets. I’ve seen it through at least 10 so far, and, it’s a real shame that people who voted for Biden and Democrats en masse are having to deal with the results of their poor election choices
Across the country, teachers and school staff struggle with inflation
Teachers and school employees nationwide are struggling to keep up with the cost of living.
Inflation and surging rent prices are pushing out teachers who can’t afford to live in where they work.
Shanika Whiten’s struggle starts before the sun is even up. She’s a single mom living in Los Angeles and battling debilitating multiple sclerosis, yet she’s still determined to get to work on time.
“There have been months where I would worry about, ‘Oh, am I going to be able to afford to pay rent this month,’” she said.
Whiten has worked for more than 20 years in special education for the L.A. school system.
But rising rents and a surge in the cost of living have nearly forced her out, along with other school employees.
“It’s sad to live the way we are because of inflation, and everything is going up except your paycheck,” Whiten said. “Your paycheck is not going up, so it’s like, ‘How am I going to continue to survive?’” Whiten said.
The core inflation can be blamed on China for releasing COVID-19. The Biden admin has done little to alleviate it. Their focus is on so many other things that really do not help citizens, does not look to reduce inflation. Many things have actually made it worse. But, teachers shouldn’t complain, because they voted for incompetence and a disinterested government.
What this most likely means is that teacher’s unions across the country are going to demand a big pay raise, even going so far as to strike for it. It’s easy to soak the private sector, right?
Inflation could cost your family an extra $11,500 this year
New estimates from NerdWallet project that, due to inflation, the average household would have to spend an extra $11,500 this year in order to maintain the same standard of living as previous years.
Elizabeth Renter from NerdWallet explained that groceries would cost around $100 more per month and utilities an extra $70 monthly.
In fairness, inflation is hitting around the world. Some are just doing better than others, and the U.S. under Brandon has not been doign well.
There is probably no climate program in California that is more urgent than the transition to zero-emission vehicles. Transportation is the state’s largest source of planet-warming and health-damaging emissions by far. We will not meet our obligations to reduce pollution unless we move quickly to build the charging infrastructure and replace the tens of millions of gas- and diesel-fueled vehicles on our roads with electric cars, trucks, buses and other zero-emission models. But they remain too expensive and out of reach for many residents and businesses.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is addressing the climate crisis.
Stephen Colbert tore into Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for “kidnapping” migrants and flying them to Massachusetts for a political stunt.
A Virginia state judge has tossed a lawsuit filed on behalf of 13 young people who claim a state law that promotes fossil fuel development violates their constitutional rights, finding the government is immune to the kinds of arguments made by the kids.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and times are, arguably, increasingly desperate. The persistence of high inflation might force the Federal Reserve to resort to the biggest increase in a key U.S. interest rate in more than 40 years.
