predictable midterm elections in modern memory. what is happening now and ending on election day november 8th is not typical, it is not. as of now, it is not shaping up to be a wave for one party or another. now it is more like a shark nato. typically, republicans would and should be feeling pretty good about their chances. to retake both the house and the senate by significant margins. feeling good because things are bad. high inflation, fears of a recession, voters are inclined to hold the party in power. right now, that is democrats. they are responsible and accountable. phrases are up nearly everywhere you look. life is more expensive, but which of course i mean life cereal, weak and processed wheat products. up more than 20% here. as the late great rapper might say, straight butter baby. by which of course, i mean the tuck cost butter is up 30% august to august. of course, our friends in saudi arabia are making sure that we all continue to feel more pain at the pump. tha
