Hitler and the Nazis wanted to expand the Third Reich to conquer former “Aryan” lands and Slavic/Communist countries. Jews were to be deported to the latter and enslaved alongside native Slavs. Didn’t work out. Holocaust happened instead. Trump’s “no new wars” threats to our neighbors is scary.

The fact that Costco has kept its DEI initiatives without hesitation while also keeping its hotdogs at $1.50 shows us just how much giant corporations jerk us around while expecting gratitude. Price regulations have existed since the Middle Ages. If they figured it out 800 years ago why can’t we?

Scottish industrial landowners built manufactured villages for labourers in their mining and farming industries. Musk’s recycling a custom from the 18th and 19th centuries.
