More specifically, the number represented the annualized increase in the 131BN change between what the BEA calculated was chained Q3 GDP ($23.400 trillion) and Q4 GDP ($23.531 trillion).

It may get to the point where I have to go to Canada to get [21:53] IsambardPrince my flu shot. He Who Shall Not Be Named also said 75,000 Americans die each year from Fentanyl so there's a national emergency. About that many die of the flu, and half are preventable if we got everyone vaccinated. [21:53] IsambardPrince [21:53] IsambardPrince The protein subunit flu shots are actually quite potent.
