Unbounded SCOTUS Hypocrisy & Lies #ABlueView When inflicting its fatal wound into the Voting Rights Act in Apr, SCOTUS claimed maps that intentionally discriminated would still be illegal.

Profits’ share climbed to 12.1%, the highest since 1950." "Adjusted for inflation, hourly wages are up 3% since the end of 2019 while profits are up 50%." "There is no sign of those trends reversing. For instance, the recent surge in energy prices left after-tax disposable income "... lower in April than in December. Meanwhile, profits of energy companies in the S&P 500 are expected to double this quarter from a year earlier."
