The Big Three 2-11-22
1 School closings and delays are stacking up as snow overnight has made the drive in this morning a little difficult.

2 A Canadian court has moved to freeze the $8 Million crowd raised by people all over the world donating to funding organization Give Send Go.
What will happen to those funds?
It’s not clear. The crowdfunding company issued a statement on Twitter in an apparent response to the court order, “Know this! Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo.”
It adds, “All funds for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns, not least of which is The Freedom Convoy campaign.”
Meanwhile the Freedom truckers are giving Michigan politicians a headache too.
The Ambassador bridge remains closed and backups near the blue water bridge in Port Huron are adding to the mess.
Whitmer wants to help. She’s offered support and machinery to help the mayor of Windsor in order to clear the bridge and open it up to traffic once again.
The convoy is having effects on manufacturing and this the economy in Michigan.
Ford, GM, and Toyota have all announced that they’re closing plants or cancelling shifts because of the delays in delivering parts.

3 Inflation hits 7.5%. The highest since 1982.
