I liked it way better when Obama was secretly telling Biden what to do. Putin isn't so good.

If Presidents Musk and Trump are successful in tearing the system down it will need to be rebuilt. Who will do that? You think poor people will have a say? The mailman? Working people? If you haven't read anything about what an oligarchy is, you may want to do that now.

You know those New Yorkers trying to tell you how NY'ers act and what NY'ers do? Yeah, they're from Jersey. 🤣

Could the argument be made (in light of President Trump saying we need to import more college educated workers) that not paying for college for American students puts us at a competitive disadvantage?

Musk and Ramswamay criticize American culture. Musk says some MAGA's are racist. Bannon says musk is owned by the communist Chinese.
Democrats said all this and they were divisive and they hated America.
You can't make this up.

As a person involved in a lot of door knocking and phone banking, I can tell you I rarely ever talk to a real person. We need a new plan.

Believing the current style of door-knocking wins campaigns is the same as believing in Santa Claus.

Not a single company president we contacted responded to me and @clauirizarry.bsky.social about why they agreed to have the Home Healthcare Workers of America represent their employees, without even demanding an election. Don't companies usually fight union drives? Why did they embrace this one?
New York’s Fastest-Growing Union Is Management’s Best Friend — and Some Workers Don’t Even Know They’re Members
Home Healthcare Workers of America has rocketed to 43,000 members without holding elections, locking employees into boss-friendly contracts while amassing political clout and millions in union dues.

"New AARP Survey: 1 in 5 Americans Ages 50+ Have No Retirement Savings and Over Half Worry They Will Not Have Enough to Last in Retirement."

If people can't save for retirement why does the federal government penalize 401k's 10 percent for an early withdrawal?
