    Smart people would look at the baby formula shortage, the baby formula industry and the regulatory regime that protects American producers and solve the problem by at least temporarily sweeping away tariffs and regulations that are causing the shortage. Solve the problem… now. Instead, we have stupid people in our government. They don’t care about…

  • How green is this EV?

    How green is this EV?

    The Biden Administration is firing on all cylinders! Gasoline inventories are declining which translates to higher prices at the pump. Refineries are operating at 93% capacity right now and continue to ramp up. What happens to our energy supply should a refinery or two go down? We’re burning the candle at both ends and running…
