Not too shabby Sweden for a “ socialist “ country. Actually pretty capitalist in terms of trade and engineering. A sane mix of capitalism and socialism looks better than pure reliance on either.

According to Tax Foundation. Org, Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill will save corporations close to $950 Billion over 10 years! That’s about 90 billion/ year. But no SNAP ? But reducing healthcare? But giving billions to Argentina? WTF?

Soybeans are significant but only 10% of total US Agricultural exports. So Trump bails out Argentina and US Farmers but won’t bail out the US citizens who rely on SNAP

While China predicts slightly lower growth in renewable energy because of of changes in how they contract they still intend to double growth while the US reduces its forecast for renewable sources by half. Trump is caving to China and others while the US depends on fossil fuels.

On D Day June 6, 1944 the US had 10,300 casualties with about 4,414 killed. No matter the source, we have surpassed that number significantly in gun deaths, ex suicide. It’s only September. I get the one day vs 9 months bringing the average per day down but no matter what, this is a sad statistic

Mike Johnson are you awake, alive comatose or just exhausted from kissing Trump’s ass. You should be begging for military intervention in your crime ridden state and it’s not just Dem cities. Your rural parishes crush the averages but maybe you kiss gang leader ass too?

Reported gun deaths from the CDC in kids under 18. Note to reporters- you need to review this carefully. Only 85 downloads and less than 1,000 views? Does anyone care about our kids being killed by guns? Note- the CDC suggests this data is Under Reported!

AOC is right and strong on so many things and she is now pushing an agenda that is more than “ Not DJT”. While raising the minimum wage is noble so is ensuring small businesses thrive to provide that better wage for even more jobs. Helping businesses is helping real people thrive to fund progress.
