global prices are all Biden's fault. Better elect conservatives this year to find efficiencies.

One of his posts recently indicated that he was going to visit six countries in four days. I imagine that the strike is causing some people to scramble and find alternatives.
But yeah, the high prices and the strike are all Biden's fault.

And, a lot of peaceful, creative, civil disobedience. For as long as it takes.
