  • The bus picked me up at 6:30 AM and I had extracurriculars, so I didn’t get home from the late bus until after 5:30 PM. I’d almost always have an hour or two of homework too, but usually I could get it done on the bus or during other classes. But not always.

    Then there is the puberty and hormones, plus the depression from not being popular or good looking, which still affects me today.

    Company A raises prices and reports record quarterly profits. Company B is aware of this because both the price raising and quarterly profit report for Company A are public. Company B raises prices too so that they can get also get more profit. Company C either does the same thing, or there is no company C because rubber stamped mergers and acquisitions for decades have allowed a handful of companies to dominate every industry, sometimes multiple industries.

    None of this is a conspiracy. It’s Econ 101 level “how things work.”
