It is not "transitory' or caused by the pandemic. It is being caused by idiots in Washington. And it hurts already.

Max

For most people it is, especially those who work for a living and those on fixed incomes. But Joe Biden doesn't care, he still thinks he is a truck driver, which he never has been, but his dementia says otherwise.

Larry Sabulsky

inflation is always a problem, but this one has been caused by the ignorant actions of Brandon's administration.

Vernon Taylor

Of course it is. Why even ask? To say otherwise is a suspension of disbelief. Such as to say we have a functioning president.

Eclectic come from the Greek: To select. Ancient philosophers who were relative in their thinking of doctrines. What library do you use? Work Cited. “Eclectic.” Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/eclectic. Accessed 2 Dec. 2021.

Eclecticism is distinct from syncretism, the attempt to reconcile or combine systems, in that it does not attempt to resolve the contradictions between them. Therefore, to deny inflation exists, does not resolve the fact that it does in fact exist.

Yes, because high gas prices have raised the cost of everything we use. That, coupled with Brandon's high inflation, we all are suffering. The sad thing is, the lower income, and those on fixed incomes, are suffering the most.

Belinda Kitchen

Yes it's crazy . Here in Moberly gas is 3.11$ to 3.14$ a gallon. In Macon it 3.07$ . Our gas wasn't this high when Trump was in office. Biden you made this a lot worse and here you say your helping the people How ? May I ask ?

Max

Biden and his followers, are shoving communism down our throats, so we can all be equal, equally poor, except for him and his Elites, that is. He has sold America, to China and Russia.

Kevin Davis

I farm everything we use this year has gone up. Fuel actually is one of the lowest increases. Anhydrous ammonia has more than tripled dry fertilizer has doubled chemicals are much higher also. Dont hear about that any where

Jack L

While gas prices are high, they certainly are not as high as they have been before when we were paying almost $5.00 a gallon.

Max

RBOB Gas, stock market price of wholesale gasoline. It can be looked at, as far back as July 2005. We were energy independent when Trump left office, and wholesale gasoline was less than half of what it is now.

Max

That was between 2008 through 2014, during the Obama reign. During Trump's four years it was never as high as it is now. Thank you for pointing that out. Let's go Brandon!

I try whenever I can.

Barry Rashford

If we want a plastic ocean then we should continue to do what we are doing.

k san

Because it is the right thing to do.

Stuart Alpert

hello

Larry Ewart

As much as possible

Sarah Croom

I do but I go rounds w/ my guy. Ever since China stopped taking our recycling he stopped doing it. Idk if all that is real, I have noticed that our garbage guy just loads both cans into the same dump bin & it’s not sorted. So that’s really disturbing. Every little bit helps I feel. I rec. everything

Carolyn Morris

Always, I Re Use Water Bottles.

Misty Schrotberger

My mom has a cow if we don't

kaycstamper

I do what I can but live in an area where they don't have it. Still I save bottles and cardboard to take to recycling. I cook from scratch so don't really have cans.

Michael Stafford

It is the least we can do to preserve our resources.

Julie Brantley

We pay by the pound for certain items so why not pay less and recycle - it's the right thing to do for me and the environment.

JoãoVitorJ J

Yes, I recycle

Milena Santana

because it helps the environment

Cornelia H. Dunnings

I like to help the environment. I even pick up cans & bottles near my car in parking lots.

Joyce Koch

I feel I'm helping out.

Linda Jeffcoat Amick

Why not?

gena

Although I can only hope that it's useful because there is no proof that what is supposedly sent to the recyclers they actually carry through. You always hear about it not being done.

Evey G Quines

It's the least I can do

Bonita Davis

We take our own garbage to the dump and pay by the pound. Recycling is free so the more we recycle the less we have to pay.

Jill Hoadley Chalk

It's important to reuse as many things as possible.

Ann Wilbanks

Our duty to recycle. If it goes to the landfill, it piles up. Be responsible!!

Rachel Clara Smith

Of course! Everyone should recycle!

BJ Arey

We recycle everything possible. We also take cloth bags shopping, use insulated bag with blue ice for cold items & take reusable containers to restaurants for leftovers to take home.

it's quite literally pointless if you do any research

Cindy Calhoun

It's not bogus I just do not have a place to drop it off in my area - if it's not close by I'm lazy and won't go out of my way (I'm a sad case).

Nancy Sam

I do when its readily available at airports, malls, ect. But at our home, no. I do want that to change though.

Jimmy Lancaster

I do what I can with cardboard and such but there is no recycling program where I live

Elaine Reed

There is no recycling program where I live.

My local recycling company charges me to recycle, even though they're already making money on recycling that which people turn in to them.
