While I concede that is likely true, I ask you what other organizations bully and threaten to hurt people if they donโ€™t agree to less favorable conditions? The mob and drug king pins

It will take decades before other countries view our country as a reliable, trustworthy partner again.

I have recently heard his supporters saying Drumpf doesnโ€™t actually intend to take the illegal and dangerous actions he has proposed/floated, but rather these are just a ploy to create more favorable conditions for negotiations.

The failure to enforce existing laws is the result of Drumpf failing to honor his oath, and he should therefore be impeached.

And if you are in a leadership position, use your power to create a healthy work environment so that in the long run you can sow the seeds of being a trustworthy business partner.

They cannot control all of us if we refuse to let them. Resist.

Be aware of which companies you patronize and donโ€™t give your business to these organizations. Refuse to be an exploited worker when possible (either resist the policies or, where possible, find a job with an organization that appreciates and fairly compensates you for your efforts).

emulate these exploitive cultures) may be hurt, but the only way to fight back is to starve these companies of the resources they need to succeed (and instead invest those resources in environments that emphasize employee satisfaction, growth and well-being over profit).

Donโ€™t patronize these businesses, and where possible, seek employment away from them.

I dislike that the talented and innovative folks who worked hard to find success at companies like Tesla, Twitter, SpaceX, Starlink, Amazon and Meta (and all the companies now attempting to

The working masses have control simply because we have the numbers. Leaders cannot force an organized work force to sacrifice quality of life and accept unfair, exploitive management practices if workers simply refuse to accept those terms.

As long as good, smart, hard working people continue to line up for the opportunity to work for leaders who view them with contempt - leaders who see workers as merely a means to extend the leadersโ€™ wealth without concern for the impact of the chaos and stress created by the demands of

Drumpfโ€™s tariffs will be no different than the taxes imposed on tea sold in the colonies in 1773 that led to the Boston Tea Party and ultimately the American Revolution.

Trump directs Pentagon and DHS to prepare migrant housing at Guantรกnamo Bay Trump said earlier Wednesday that the U.S. has "30,000 beds in Guantรกnamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people."

This is getting absurd.
