Show me one industry consolidated by private equity that brought better prices for customers, better pay and benefits for employees, rather than just bigger profits for the already rich?

The funny thing is, he is no different than pretty much everyone in the Trump administration and cabinet.
He is unqualified for the job that he has - White House correspondent - But excellent at a job few people are willing to do -- sucking Trump's ass.
This will end badly for all of them.

Turns out, "president projection" is actually a piggy
So how come "President Transparency" refuses to release his tax returns? Or his crypto receipts?? or his payments from foreign govts?? Or his family's business deals? Or the full unredacted and declassified Epstein files?
Because he is the pig.. and knows full well what awaits him.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.
