aceon48··on Podcast: Housing prices soar with rising inflation
This article tries to put the blame partially on Ukraine. These media outlets are just extensions of the democrat party. The amount of money printed in the past 2 years, along with Covid shortages, are causing inflation. Stop blaming someone else, own it, and fix it.
