Nick Reed PODCAST 04.12.22 - Gas Prices, Earth Day, and Inflation Rates
Hour 2 - Happy Tuesday! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: President Biden is set to announce that the EPA will allow E15 gasoline—gasoline that uses a 15% ethanol blend—to be sold in the United States this summer in an effort to expand Americans’ access to affordable fuel supply amid the surge in gas prices across the nation. Quarterback Cam Newton is in hot water for comments that were deemed "sexist." “Now a woman for me is, handling your own but knowing how to cater to a man’s needs. Right? And I think a lot of times when you get that ascetic of ‘I’m a boss b***h, Imma this, Imma that.’ No baby! But you can’t cook. You don’t know when to be quiet! You don’t know how to allow a man to lead,” Newton said. Inflation accelerated in March to a new four-decade high. The consumer price index rose 8.5% in March from a year ago, according to a new Labor Department report released Tuesday, marking the fastest increase since January 1982.
