Particularly after Trump's repeated destructive messes in DC (East Wing, Reflecting Pool), Dems should be able to make a campaign issue out of "fixing our infrastructure)." Not fancy new projects. But a nationwide effort to repair and replace infra of all kinds. Benefits: visible, improves lives.

Trump is doing such a great job lowering costs, particularly the cost of gas, that my company just ("temporarily") raised our mileage reimbursement rate because gas prices are so high.

How many b's are there in blueberry?

In "blueberry," there are three b's:

B (uppercase) at the start if you capitalize it

• b in the middle ("blue")

• b in "berry"

If we're talking lowercase only - in

that's two b's.

"blueberry"

So:

Capitalized "Blueberry"→ 3 B's (counting uppercase and lowercase)

Lowercase "blueberry" 2 b's
