LOCAL NOTES
Pork: a reader sent me a note about pork and pork prices earlier this afternoon. We have three grocers within biking distance: Walmart, Albertson's, and Target. I just checked out two out of tree. I will check out Albertson's later.
- Pork:
- Target: $5.50 to $6.50 / lb depending on cut, bone-in/bone-out
- Walmart: a much, much, much bigger selection. About $4.50 to $5.50 / lb, but some cuts with a "3-handle and some cuts with a "6-handle
- The same of pre-wrapped head of iceberg lettuce:
- Target: $1.98
- Walmart: $1.88
- LGBQT:
- I didn't look at Target.
- Walmart: right up front, a huge display; here in Texas
- speaks volumes about "low-information" customers
- how does Walmart avoid all these controversies? LOL.
Total Wine and More:
- best place to shop in local area for gourmet cheeses; limited, limited selection but priced right
- I didn't notice any specials on Bud Lite
NATIONAL NEWS
F + TSLA: brilliant. Link here. Tesla agrees to grant Ford vehicles to Tesla superchargers across the US -- cites President Biden's IRA for making it happen. One step closer to a "universal" EV charging system across the US. Huge deal. But it will require deep pockets for EV manufacturers to come up with deal to partner with Elon Musk.
EVs start-up: dead. Rivian. Nikola. Fed rate increases will kill start-ups. Nikola faces de-listing.

Other News
EPA: finally we have a Supreme Court with (some) common sense.
Debt ceiling: if a deal is not announced by Monday morning, it tells me that the "x-date" has been moved well to the right, suggesting both sides look to opportunity to advance their own agenda. Perhaps a re-do in August, or September. In other words, politics as usual.
