You don’t know about today; you usually don’t. However, you do know about you, most of the time, anyway, so you know how you can make the most of whatever you have to get whatever you want. Yep. That’s all you need to know to get started with a smile. Cheers.

CNN: 54% say it's bad Musk was given a big role
Majorities disapprove of Trump in CNN, WaPo, Gallup.
