    AFLCIO.ORG's alliance with Tom Donohue's USChamber.COM to oust Donald
    Trump from WhiteHouse.GOV: <URL:https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/11/economy/chamber-of-commerce-inflation/index.html>
    | The US Chamber of Commerce is calling for doubling the number of
    | legal immigrants into America as a way to ease inflation and the
    | worker shortage.
    | "We need more workers. We should welcome people who want to come
    | here, go to school and stay," Chamber of Commerce CEO Suzanne Clark
    | told reporters during a press conference on Tuesday. "That is a
    | place the government could be particularly helpful and we do believe
    | it would be anti-inflationary."
    | Clark added that ramping up immigration would help to ease the
    | supply chain disruptions that are at the heart of the inflation
    | spike, including the shortage of truck drivers.

    Do Eugene Scalia and Marty Walsh agree with Clark that importing
    more scab workers for the Cheap Labor Lobby will reduce wages for
    legacy American proles?

    "Republicans punted on Big Tech reform like so many other issues.
    GOP put up one fight during the Trump era--Kavanaugh--and made empty
    promises on everything else. From Russiagate to Biden family
    corruption and election accountability, GOP leadership did squat.
    They must be replaced" - Julie Kelly <URL:https://twitter.com/julie_kelly2/status/1477662133143887874>
