Unfortunately instagram won't let us watch videos on their web site unless we download their app, which I refuse to do. Got a different source?

I don't have instagram either. I clicked through the link in this article:

www.advocate.com

The one link didn't work right but the other one did:

"The video emerged hours after Good was fatally shot Wednesday morning near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue during what the Department of Homeland Security has described as its largest immigration enforcement surge ever in Minnesota."

Just click on the X in the upper righthand corner, and you should be able to watch the video without downloading anything. That's what I did anyway.

Here's the Rock Concert version two years later:

Deep Purple - Child in Time - Made in Japan (1972)

RIP Renee Good

(Is America next?)

Now is, imho, the worst time for this country since the Cold War, Nixon, and the War in Vietnam.
With potential to be much worse than GW, Iraq, and the Bush Republican Recession.

I say that as someone who was Draft Bait a the time, and as a child had endured with all the other children in the country Atomic Bomb Drills in all schools including my elementary school.

As if sitting in the hallway covering our heads with our hands would protect us. Actually that's pretty much what some Americans are doing today; if one can be callous about these Street Executions, then one should reevaluate their mind and their soul.

Thats a poor partisan guess. Indicates knowing nothing about manufacturing, you're just hoping against all logic this can't be true.
This is why I say you've never worked in tech, you don't understand anything about business, or you're so partisan as to be ignored on anything outside of partisan opinions.
The reality is the price you are paying for a product isn't the cost to manufacture that particular item, but the cost with the predicted price to manufacture it today.
The reason for this with inflation or spikes the manufacture needs to "raise" capital to purchase this months raw material.
This is why gas jump next day on international events. Using your logic these events wouldn't affect prices, but everyone knows prices immediately jump so down the chain everyone can pay for todays raw material price changes.

You are the one who knows nothing about business.

Businesses charge what people are willing to pay. Regardless of their input costs.

When you have events that potentially disrupt the supply of a product people want to stock up to make sure they don't get caught without it later, so they are willing to pay more. So businesses charge more. That is how capitalism works.

If you were right, there would be no such thing as "price gouging". A hurricane coming through does not suddenly cause a generator to cost three times as much to manufacture. Or suddenly make gasoline multiple times more costly to produce. But "price gouging" is very real, and people complain about it regularly during disasters.

You are the perfect example of why manufacturing is declining under Trump. Because conservatives don't understand business, or the economy. Once the adults (Democrats) who actually understand economics get back in charge then manufacturing will probably start increasing again.
