Avelo can go bankrupt.
You don't get to stop deporting people in chains to death camp and go "Whoopsie!"
Especially since you never admitted to being wrong.
You decided it is less profitable than you originally expected to transport people to torture camps without due process.

Interesting new MLK footage. Some may consider it depreciates the value of his later marriage, but I hope his family does not think that. It is a rare person who marries their first love.

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).
