ITβS ELECTION DAY, AMERICA!
Remember to get out and VOTE!!!
There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
I wish I lived in a caring, thoughtful country where politics wasn't about winning an election next year, but helping our citizens this year.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result is demagoguery and corruption.
Literacy is activism.
Reading is a political act.
Books are tools for liberation.

In the richest country in the history of the world, we cannot abandon our teachers and our public schools.
Never before has there been such a gang of Republican politicians so willing to sell their souls for their own reelection at the expense of the rule of law and the health, safety, security and freedom of their children, grandchildren, constituents and country.

Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

She told us what she would do, he told us what he would do... a lot of y'all chose him, sat out, or went 3rd party (knowing they couldn't win) & now he's doing what he said. Obviously, you thought he was the better option. Don't get mad at her for your choice.
