US women in 2025:
Get long acting birth control, don’t delay the divorce, make sure your finances are in order and you have cash on hand, make a “go bag”, make a list of trusted contacts, make sure your passports and IDs are up to date. What else?

Amazon workers in Quebec unionized last year.
This week, Amazon closed its warehouse operations in Quebec.
Amazon denied the closures were related to unionization, but it has a track record of crushing unions in America.
Union busting is disgusting — and a global problem.

Tariffs can be strategically applied to protect American industries.
But the blanket tariffs Trump is proposing to slap on our largest trading partners will help fuel inflation.
They could also invite retaliation, which would dry up export markets for U.S. companies.

Four corporations control 70% of retail grocery sales in America. Kroger and Albertsons are two of those corporations.
Less competition means more opportunity to price gouge.
