The 2022 federal retiree cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will be 5.9 percent for those under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and 4.9 percent for those under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS).
The last COLA for federal retirees near this figure was in 2009, when CSRS retirees received 5.8 percent and FERS retirees received 4,8 percent. In 2021, the COLA for both CSRS and FERS retirees was 1.3 percent.
But don't worry! Presidente Obrador has been consulting with our own left-coast Liberals and has learned how to conduct a proper Spirit Circle.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador promised an end to the violent drug wars of earlier administrations. His policy toward the cartels, he said, would be, “abrazos, no balazos” — hugs, not bullets."

KYIV, Ukraine—Ukraine’s foreign minister said President Biden’s comments Wednesday playing down a potential “minor incursion” into his country by Russia could serve as an invitation to attack by Moscow.

"The world is perched on the edge of an abyss. We may soon see the worst combat in Europe since WW2 – killing thousands of people, and raising the likelihood of nuclear war. It didn't have to be this way." ~Clint Ehrlich
This article is all over the place so finding a single quote bait is difficult:
"Markets are obviously roiled by this far more than they are the idea of a war. Yes, the Fed has no understanding of geopolitics, or ‘Call of Duty’, and talks about ‘Duty of Care’ while not caring; but its true mission is ‘Duty of Puts’. Stocks over hegemony, obviously – for now. How much explodes first though?"
"Duty of care" in reference to corporate activism (ESG) and addressed in a recent letter to CEO's penned by Blackrock's Frink. Using a corporations clout to drive govt and social policy (towards or away from war, too?)

The World Economic Forum's Great Narrative Conference: "The good news is the elite across the world trust each other more and more... the bad news is that the majority of people trusted that elite less..."
"Russia “will be held accountable if it invades,” but then clarified: “It depends on what it does. It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do, et cetera.”"
“Are you effectively giving Putin permission to make a small incursion into the country?” Biden laughed, saying, “That’s how it did sound like, didn’t it?”
Ha ha henh henh heh... only a few people will die, eh Brandon?
