I thought that Blue Sky would be good, a liberal/progressive outlook. The system, however, stinks.

Back to looking for a positive place to post.

I thought that going with Blue Sky would be great, but instead, it is worse than Twitter.

I have posted numerous very good articles -- and nobody even reads them.

Time to look for a good liberal/progressive site.

Reagan was wrong about everything, but the Canadians are correct in this ad about tariffs. He knew the destruction of tariffs, and said so.
