supply chain issues. The war in Ukraine may hurt it even more, since Ukraine is a major contributor to the world’s food supply. However, other aspects may be easier to correct, such as the oil supply. By allowing more free dom for oil companies to drill, gas prices could be brought down with a natural supply instead of a temporary fix in tak ing from our Strategic Oil Reserves.Inshort, inflation is a complicated problem with few obvious solu tions. The biggest prob lem seems to be shortages and supply chain disrup tions, and those may take time to fix. Continuing to bring down energy pric es through an increase in domestic supply will help. Billions of more govern ment spending, coupled with claims that the econ omy is in great shape despite the inflation and hopes that the inflation is temporary, does not seem to be working.
The Federal Reserve plan has been to bring down demand by increasing interest rates. Also, the high prices could drive down demand, as peo ple simply cannot afford to buy products and ser vices and must find a way to adjust. However, President Biden and Congress may not have gotten the memo, as mas sive government spend ing is planned through the Inflation Reduction Act and Biden’s student loan forgivenessPerhaps,plan.instead of driving down demand by high prices and interest rates, the better solution would be to increase the supply. Giving the gov ernment control over fixing the supply chain issues is not a good solu tion, as history points to horrible inefficiency when federal governments con trol the economy. Some of the supply needs time to increase, such as food and problems caused by

is at its lowest level since 1985. With tensions ris ing around the world due to the war in Ukraine and Biden also confirm ing that the U.S. would defend Taiwan from China with troops in his inter view, saving the reserves in case of a conflict may have been more prudent. The relief on wallets is beneficial, but the move seems to have been made with little foresight. Some thought inflation was only being driven up by gas prices. It makes sense, since the world economy is so depen dent on oil. Also, most products we enjoy are affected by gas through transportation and pro duction. Despite the fall of gas prices, food prices are still rising. Inflation has not gone down. So, what caused this inflation besides an oil shortage?
While the pandemic may be a factor in rising inflation, it has more to do with supply and demand.
Obviously, most con sumers realize that food prices are not as cheap as they used to be and are still going up. However, President Biden has a different take on the sit uation. In an interview with CBS “60 Minutes,” he said that the inflation rate was just an inch up month-to-month. He also pointed out that energy prices have come down and more jobs have been added.However, inflation is the economic issue that hits closest to home for most voters. It is the issue that could determine key midterm elections in November that will decide which party has control of both Houses of Congress.
PEXELS
While it’s true gas prices have come down recently, it is not as good as it looks. Although gas prices in the Midwest are down to about $3.52 according to the U.S. Energy Administration, at this same time last year, gas prices were about $3.07. Two years ago, gas prices were about $2.04. Prices peaked this June at $4.97, so they have come down substantial ly. However, the way the White House has gone about achieving this goal is by releasing oil from the Strategic Oil Reserves. The original plan called for 180 mil lion barrels, or about 32 percent of the reserve, to be released, according to Valerie Pavilonis of USA Today. Most of those bar rels have been released. The Strategic Oil Reserve
Some have blamed the pandemic, and in a way they are correct. Inflation is caused by different factors, but it usually boils down to supply and demand. During the pan demic, many businesses and producers were shut down. This caused a short age of supply. Since then, trying to recover from those shutdowns has led to supply chain disrup tions, further reducing the supply. Other shortages that have driven up infla tion include cars, lumber and real Anotherestate.problem with supply was an excessive supply of money due to the federal government pouring money into the economy through stimu lus checks and PPP loans. It may seem beneficial to give people money to combat inflation, but in truth it sped inflation up. The more of something there is, the less valuable it is. Printing too much money then causes it to be less valuable. In reality, part of the problem is not inflation of prices; it is the deflation of the value of theMeanwhile,dollar. the extra
The August consum er price index came out recently, and the results were not pretty. The index rose 8.3 percent since last year, according to Jeff Cox of CNBC.

money created a demand to spend it. When you combine a lower supply of goods and services, a greater supply of money, and high demand, pric es go up, and inflation results. With many people being let go from their jobs during the pandemic and some being hesitant to return to work, prices for labor rose, which also increased the costs in pro duction of goods, raising prices.Gas prices obvious ly played a key role as well. During the pandem ic, less people traveled, and so demand for gas was low. As people began to travel more, demand increased, and gas prices rose. New climate poli cies since President Biden took office have made it more difficult for oil com panies to drill and process oil to meet the demand, leading to increased gas prices, which accelerated the overall rate of infla tion even more.

I think that the story is well paced for its lon ger run time, I found the little bits very funny. The film takes place in one location much like “Bodies Bodies Bodies,” “Everything Everywhere All At Once” and “The Hateful Eight.” It uses props in its location well. This film delivers on its promises throughout the film; it eventually comes back like things it set up, but this isn’t a film that will make you rethink your life. It’s an action film that subverts the genre but it still delivers the goods of entertaining you.So if you’re scrolling through Netflix, look no further than “Bullet Train!” It’s a simple but clever plot, with a star studded cast!

Western Illinois defense is anchored by junior linebacker Juan Delacruz, who wrapped up 10 total tackles last week end. The Leathernecks come into this game tied for tenth in the Missouri Valley in both points scored and points allowed.This game will be an excellent opportunity for the Panthers to get their first win of the season, and should be another great chance for the offense to shine and for the defense to get back on track.

The game will start at 3 p.m. this Saturday, Sept. 24 and will be available to watch on ESPN+.
As stated earlier, Western Illinois is also off to a rough start to the season with a 0-3 record.

defense is led by redshirt-se nior linebacker Spencer Cuvelier, who tallied a season high number of tackles last weekend with 12 including a forced fumble. UNI’s win
