I am getting ready to start union negotiations with the commonwealth of Massachusetts. I’m in this union by virtue of my position and somehow was nominated to represent my office. This issue is one that I hope resonates with the state. Energy prices in my town are absolutely crazy. Everyone is concerned. Where other than here (my #1 stop on substack) should I look for ammunition to back up my arguments? Amazing how behind my wealthy state is on pay scales for its own employees.
I can send you some links which will document what inflation has been in Massachusetts, both in general and for specific things like energy. Also some sources documenting food and housing costs.
The real problem is that these “experts,” who are usually wrong, have much influence in making over-reaching economic and energy policies. Their justification is always that they are wiser than the markets.

That is a problem, because history has proven their unwisdom time and again.
