i m not going to take gianno s bite and make a focused connection on crack pipes and inflation. when you look you agree with it, say it. you agree with the crack pipes. let her finish, gianno. yes, sir. inflation is double what it was since march of 2020. jenna, we don t have a lot of time. democrats tell me that the stock market has nothing to do with middle income family, that their money doesn t go as far as it used to. charles, if you want me to answer, i m happy to. you have to i m trying to help you. if you re going to insult the audience and say the stock market is up, go for it. you re sitting here trying to make this a left and right issue.
if you re worried about rising costs well, you re not alone. prices are rising and wages aren t keeping up. it means our money doesn t go as far. so, what drives us to spend and how we can make better financial decisions, especially if we re feeling the pinch. ben thompson has been speaking with dr elizabeth dunn, chief science officer of online financial tool happy money. he started by asking her if money really does buy happiness. the purchases that we make and end up playing an important role in how we see ourselves and interestingly, this depends on the type of purchase we are making so there is some research showing that buying experiences night trips are concert tickets actually is a bigger impact on a sense of self and having material things like gadgets or clothes. haifa like gadgets or clothes. how important like gadgets or clothes. how important is like gadgets or clothes. how important is positive - like gadgets or clothes. how important is positive thinking, dreaming
from? if the shots did not all come from the book depository window, then there was most likely some form of conspiracy. i think that the massive head wound where the president s head was literally blown apart came from a quartering angle on the grassy knoll, it struck and his head doesn t go directly back this way but it goes back and over this way, which would be consistent with the shot from that direction and newton s law of motion. unless the laws of physics were not working that day, the reaction of the president tells us where that shot came from. some critics say by the very fact that in the picture, you can clearly see the explosion of the bullet on the front side of the president, that that certainly indicates the bullet came from the front. well, i don t believe any physicist has ever said that. quite contrary, it does indicate that the bullet was coming from behind. it s a minor explosion where pieces of material go generally in the direction of the bullet.
on the contrary, what we re seeing is it s actually being reinforced. again, largely because of what president putin is doing. i just came back from munich. i was with all of our allies and partners and the vice president. what the vice president said forcefully in munich and what i heard in private is nato now has more cohesion, more solidarity than it s had at any time in recent memory. leading officials from europe said that publicly. the vice president certainly heard that in her meetings and in response to her speech. so i think we re seeing nato solidify and unified by the actions that president putin has taken. now having said that, this aggression from russia against ukraine is a direct challenge to the basic principles that have undergirded our security and peace. the notion that one country doesn t go and change the borders of another by force. that it doesn t try to subjugate another country to its will to force its decisions on another
ico feel like we could be probay be doing stronger things for ukraine. i think it s to send a really strong symbol to putin that ukraine and nato allies are different. if you touch the nato allies you re going to get a response from the entire alliance. i guess the question what happens if he doesn t? does what he did in 2008 and 2014 and now, takes kyiv and ultimately installs a pro-russian government that ukraine has had a couple times before in the last 20 years and doesn t go any further. what does that look like in the rear view mirror when the world stood in and allowed another country to overtake another country. toyeah, not good. not good, right? i think first and foremost, i think about china. i think about china, what they re learning from this exchange.ey our level of sort of forceleness and responding when one country, russia, tries to take over another country, ukraine. it s not just china.
