As to trees, why don't you tell me which tree I should be barking up? This is a thread about something that purports to be an independent union, yet it is completely undefined and controlled by a "select" group in Tampa. Help me out here...

While I agree that inflation is out of your control, does it even matter to you that the dollar was devalued by 10% last month? In your fact based world, does that mean I got a raise or took a hit?
