[@karleneblaser1261]

​@Mongoose-ct6us Pete did not get him fired. The broker made foul remarks on Instagram about Pete's family...his children. Chasten commented on it, blanking out the foul remark, Pete commented about it and the place the broker was thought to be employed, said he doesn't work for us and we don't tolerate that crap. It was the Buttigieg Instagram followers that hunted down the the company that contracts that broker. They put out a statement that he is one of 1,200 people that work for the company and is a contractor not an employee. We do not support that behavior. Wasn't long after that the company canceled the broker's contract. So, please, if you are going to toss shyte, make sure it's actually shyte you have in your hand. All that actually did happen was Pete has so many devoted supporters that they wouldn't let that individual get away with publicly calling Pete's children & family foul names. Instagram followers got him reported to the company that contracted him. It was his own dumb, foul, knuckle dragger, comment about children and their family on Instagram that got his contract canceled. Idiots like that have to realize that employers look at your social media, they care about when someone who represents their company spews foul crap on social media. Go ahead and use your free speech. Nothing the government can do about it. Private companies/entities are a completely different story. On this same subject matter, golfer, Scott Piercy made homophonic toward Pete and Qanon post to Instagram. He lost 2 endorsements for it. Golf Digest's clothing line being one of them. See how that works? When Elon Musk found a business my husband was running and contracted them to make boards for his Starlink satellites, I completely stopped buzzing Musk about buying Twitter. Never wrote another word to Elon. Nothing I ever wrote was foul, but you see how that works? My behavior could have cost a company a huge contract or my husband his job. He ultimately told obnoxious is being kind, Musk & company to stuff it and took a plant manager job with a different company. His choice. Not fired. Golfer Scott Piercy

By bringing the interest up, it slows spending that cools the heated inflation...like lowering the thermostat cools the heater motor.

Biden has done so much we don't even realize like giving seniors who are not on tier three drugs, a zero premium prescription card. That has saved my husband and I $114. per month. He created a department for students who do not want to go to college, but want a trade. This is available for those who want to train for a trade.
