Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Portable mortgages are like your cell phone plan: when you upgrade the phone, the plan comes with you. Let your mortgage follow you to the next house. That unfreezes movers—especially downsizers—and unlocks inventory.

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.
I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.
It makes far more sense to interdict them.

Trump is head of the DOJ and demanding we pay him $230 million because, though guilty, he forced DOJ to drop the case, and now he is AGAIN a pathetic, whiney VICTIM. L

And the renovation was carried out by a commission authorized by Congress and staffed with appointees of the president, House and Senate.
The president didn't just ring up a contractor one morning to have them tear things down.
Because it's not the president's goddamn house.

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.
The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Paraphrasing Trump’s rationale:
“George was a bad dude but there are bad dudes who aren’t in prison because they’re Democrat, so George shouldn’t be in prison”
He processes everything like an angry, belligerent child.
Those who cheer him for it are just as emotionally & intellectually stunted.

Excited to inform you all that the Department of Homeland Security is currently attempting to ratio me (and failing, as of more than two hours later).
With a heavy sigh, I repeat: bring back professionalism. For the love of god. You're running comms for the government of the USA. Act like it.
