Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

I'm begging you to to seek a more honest debating style. The article clearly outline's Biden's culpability.

Stop begging Billy, please.
I can read what the article says. It just doesn't make it true. How does one blame a politician for something that has been happening for years and years, and will continue to happen after all the current politicians are long gone.

How did this become a discussion about credit cards? Billy and I were talking about how manufacturers rip off consumers by making their products smaller and charging the same price.

Objection over ruled. You opened the door talking about how it had been going on for years. I just pointed out what else happened with it under liberal leaders.

You liberals are gonna deny runaway inflation 'til the very end. Better wake up. I promise you that poor people are paying attention every time they pull up ot the pump or go in the grocery store.



Let me quote the part that you want to ignore:

Slimmed-down product sizes are reflected in government inflation data to some extent, according to Jonathan Church, an economist with the consumer price index program at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Though the bureau's ability to weigh items has been limited during the pandemic because of restrictions on in-person data collection, he said there has been a marked shift toward smaller packages of chips and other snack foods.

It's a form of retail camouflage known as "shrinkflation," and economists and consumer advocates who track packaging expect it to become more pronounced as inflation ratchets up, taking hold of such everyday items such as paper towels, potato chips and diapers

The US gets a game-changing offshore wind farm installation vessel

Richmond, Virginia-headquartered Dominion Energy is building the Charybdis, the first Jones Act-qualified offshore wind turbine installation vessel in the US. (Interesting name choice for the vessel – a dangerous mythological sea monster.)

Charybdis for the construction of Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind, two of their planned offshore wind farms in the Northeast.

The 472-foot, $500 million Charybdis is being built in Brownsville, Texas, on the western Gulf coast, at global marine shipbuilder Keppel AmFELS’s shipyard, out of 14,000 tons of US-sourced steel. One thousand US workers will be employed at peak construction.

The Charybdis will be able to handle wind turbine sizes of up to 12 megawatts or larger. It will also be able to install turbine foundations. It’s expected to be sea-ready by late 2023.

Charybdis will first be deployed out of New London, Connecticut’s harbor to support the construction of Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind. State Pier in New London will create and support a large number of jobs as a result of hosting the vessel. It will be homeported in Hampton Roads, Virginia, and manned with an American crew.

I think that ship can defeat the Royal Canadian Navy.

VP Kamala Harris to lead Biden administration's efforts on voting rights


President Joe Biden announced Vice President Kamala Harris will lead his administration's efforts on voting rights in a speech Tuesday on the Tulsa Race Massacre in Oklahoma.

The new role comes as the Biden administration condemns efforts by Republican-led state legislatures to pass restrictive laws the White House says make it harder for Americans to vote. Calling the state bills an "unprecedented assault on our democracy," Biden recognized that he was handing Harris a tough job.

"I'm asking Vice President Harris to help these efforts, to lead them among her many other responsibilities. With her leadership and your support, we're going to overcome again -- I promise you. It's going to take a hell of a lot of work," Biden said.

In a statement of her own released first to CNN, Harris said she will take her case to the American people to press the issue.

"In the days and weeks ahead, I will engage the American people, and I will work with voting rights organizations, community organizations, and the private sector to help strengthen and uplift efforts on voting rights nationwide," Harris said in the statement. "And we will also work with members of Congress to help advance these bills."

"The work ahead of us is to make voting accessible to all American voters, and to make sure every vote is counted through a free, fair, and transparent process. This is the work of democracy," Harris added.

In a statement released Saturday, Biden criticized the bill as an "assault on democracy" and "wrong and un-American." In her own statement on Twitter, Harris used similar language, adding: "We need to make it easier for eligible voters to vote. Not harder."

Both the President and vice president have been vocal about voting rights, calling for Congress to pass HR 1, called the For the People Act, and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Wonder if she'll handle this like her first assignment.. the border crisis? She still hasn't been there.
