Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

Socialism is a political and economic theory of social organization...that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
Where are the objections from Congress as the US Administration takes a stake in Intel?

Pope Francis’s exemplary leadership taught us to care for our most vulnerable, be stewards of the earth, and oppose injustice everywhere.
His passing will be felt by many worldwide.
May he rest in eternal peace.

So much of the lawlessness we are seeing now is occurring because the officials involved a) know they can be pardoned by b) a President with SCOTUS-granted immunity.
They might prattle on about accountability, but they are bound to him for protection as they break the law.

Self inflicted wounds hurt the worst.
There was a 32% drop in the number cars crossing into the U.S from Canada in March of this year compared to March of 2024.
Forbes said that a decline of 30% in Canadian visitors would cost the U.S. economy $6 billion in losses...

There are unelected officials of DOGE who violate the Constitution and the Impoundment Act and generally deprive peoples of their legally granted rights and monies.
How are criminal or civil prosecutions of the violator started? Are these violators expecting or have pardons?

Being a flip-flopper has historically been a negative political attribute. How often does USA tariff policy flip-flop before Congress exercises its Constitutional duty?

So when the US postal service is privatized by this corrupt administration, can I quit receiving the trash they deliver to my house everyday?

The Trump administration broadly asserts that they are good business people. Look at NOAA, for example.
A good business operator would proclaim, "Wow! The data produced here is valuable. Let's sell the data which would more than pay for the agency."
Instead, NOAA is being decimated.
