There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

it’s the same logic as the death of newspapers. instead of having expertly-curated content laid out for us to peruse, we’re the ones seeking out only what we know of/ want to consume.
Not to be Boomerish, but I do think one loss of the streaming age, is discovering older media through serendipity.
The only reason I know about Tom and Jerry, The Looney Tunes, or any of those older toons is because they aired at random while I was watching TV. Now you have to seek them out.

It’s the way Trump is doing exactly what liberals feared from his first admin… just eight years later.
but this time, Democrats are doing nothing and the public is just kind of shrugging its shoulders.

the Golden Age of America is dead.
NATO allies are in a state of anger, denial and despair after Pete Hegseth effectively declared an end to America's role as the primary guarantor of European security, particularly over Ukraine.
Trump's surprise phone call with Vladimir Putin, just hours later, only added salt to the wound.

President Trump was officially elected chairman of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, he announced on Wednesday. The center is now entirely made up of Trump appointees when it has historically been run by bipartisan boards.
