    I do agree that you should be ashamed of yourself.

    It's just common sense. We have a novel virus that the only facts we know is that people are dropping like flies. Group get togethers are killing most of the people who attend. You don't have to be perfect dealing with this, but lives are more important than money.

    For the record, about 90% of toilet paper sold in the US is domestic. But the world saw supply chain issues because much of the world shut down. Even had the US stayed open, and we were more open than many other countries, there still would have been supply shortage caused inflation. And the world shut down for good reason. A novel virus that became the #3 cause of death that when first discovered, had no treatment, no cure, and no vaccine became a global pandemic.

    The real question is why would thet provide fake numbers to make Trump look good when in reality the economy is a shell of what it was during Biden's reign
