is how long this economy can stay resilient despite the bank turmoil and despite all of the interest rate hikes from the fed alright matt eagan, breaking that down for us. appreciate it. new season. new rules major league baseball s opening day is here. that s next. i can t believe this is h how you kids talk to your friends. this is talking. did you have a nice day? look at the size of these butterfly shrimp, enormous shrimp. what no, she s talking. i m fernando liveutside of boston. i ve been with consumer cellular for five years. consumer cellula gives you all the same features that these big companies give you. what you get for the for the cost is remarkable. why would you pay more money? why would you pay more when you can get unlimited talk and text with a flexible data plans starting at just $20 a month. i think they should raise their prices. sorry,
