If they try to get a new appliance, they are waiting longer, they are paying more money. You think about the energy crisis with families paying 50 percent more for gasoline, in some cases, with dramatic increases at the pump and the pain that it causes, especially lower income families. The border crisis, where every day we see stories of thousands of people coming across our border illegally.

The supply chain crisis that we see getting worse and worse with ships backed up, maybe almost all the way to China, because that crisis is not being addressed.
