Now we have Trump blasting air traffic controllers, telling them they hate this country for not showing up without pay.
"I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK... You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record."

You know what was cool? How department stores were set up so every section had its own central desk where if you wanted help with something you could easily ask for it and the person there was an expert in that section and also you could checkout right there, too
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

On the one hand I sometimes feel bad all these Canadians make their way into the American political system but then I also realize there is some self-sorting going on
Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

The average American thinks that the combined Muslim, Jewish and Native American population makes up a combined 84% of the country when it is, in fact, 4%
Absolutely. This aligns with this yougov poll that shows actual percentages of the U.S. population on the left in red and perceived percentages on the right in blue. Most people assume the population is much more rich and more diverse than it actually is.
