Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The supply scramble has resulted in Americans enduring soaring costs, equating to roughly $2,000 per household in extra energy and mortgage payments. This economic pressure has influenced campaign narratives, with some candidates shifting away from climate issues to address inflation and the Iran war.
