Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed

Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

Be careful. When democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health.

I've been struggling with self-worth. I do things not so much because of what is right but more because of I'm afraid to be alone... but at that same time am I really or am I longing for the isolation that I hate but crave,,, life is complex and ugly... thoughts...

Woody Guthrie penned this in the 1950s about Donald Trump’s father:

I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate
He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed that color line
Here at his Beach Haven family project
"Old Man Trump" ~ Woody Guthrie

Just had a session with my psychologist. I suppose it's a win when I'm down to a session every 6-8 weeks compared to the twice a week when I was at my lowest. I'm a self-confessed misanthrope - I don't see humanity going in the right direction.

New to the platform. Just had a birthday and surprisingly for the first time in years I'm not experiencing the "I'm OLD" doldrums even though I am "getting up there".

Have a great weekend everybody and work/play safe.
