Facebook messaenger Friend REquests...

Out of the blue the limited people on my list were getting hit with fried requests. No photo, the age was the date and an entirely different year.

Changed all the passwords, dumped a couple of those Hi ya messages I found lurking. Made numerous reports to Facebook, they are idiots. Run all my malware, checkers, webroot, spybot, etc. no sign of any infection.

Maersk CEO on supply chain its labor & trucking capacity

Not going to improve due to trucking capacity and labor at ports. Perhaps The administration can start a "Red Ball Express" to get the containers out of the ports to destinations. This is not going to improve anytime soon, not enough truckers and port labor. Republican carping on the issue should be going to the ports in droves to drive trucks.

Democrats are retiring faster than they can be replaced.

If the alarms bells aren't ringing, that including redistricting, its looking like a blowout. A year from now, the crying won't stop when old Kevin is sitting it the high seat. Better get what you can get now, or you won't later. Those Democrats holding their breaths could be on the other end of getting bounced for sheer stupidity.

Republicans gear up to inflict maximum pain on Democrats as the debt default deadline inches closer

Republicans are blocking attempts by Democrats to renew the US's ability to pay its bills, pushing the US closer to the precipice of default.

Congress has just 16 days to raise or suspend the debt ceiling to dodge what could be a catastrophic hit to the economy, ranging from delays in Social Security checks to seniors, turmoil in financial markets, and cuts to safety net programs like unemployment insurance and Medicaid. The world's trust in the dollar would fade. Interest rates would soar, lifting mortgage, car loan, and credit card payments. Ratings agency S&P would cut its rating to the worst-possible rank of D.

Raising the debt ceiling allows the US government to pay back what it owes, and the limit had to be lifted this year regardless of Biden's spending plans. Democrats are pressing Republicans to help raise it, arguing both parties racked up another $7.8 trillion in new debt under the Trump administration. Republicans also raised or suspended the debt limit three times under President Donald Trump.

Now that Biden is in office, the GOP is reversing course and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is spearheading the GOP drive to demand Democrats lift the limit on their own, escalating efforts to undermine President Joe Biden's domestic agenda.
