Opinion | One Man Stole $660 Million. He’ll Never Pay It Back.

β€œIlliberal governments tend to live or die by their ability to sustain corruption. They rely for support on a network of oligarchs, who in turn are tied to the administration’s success. It happened in Hungary, Turkey, Russia and increasingly, it is happening here.”

Well… he can use a war to blame his worsening economy on.

He can also try to use a war to suspend midterm elections if he thinks they won’t go well for him… which they won’t.

Tariffs paid by midsized US firms tripled last year, new analysis from JPMorganChase Institute shows New research shows midsized U.S. companies pay far more in Trump-era tariffs, and the costs land at home.

Who is paying the Tariffs, we are!!

Midsize business raise prices on consumers. Revenue must be greater than COGS, (Cost of goods sold) in order to stay in business. Simple concept, but Trump Republicans are oblivious to this fact.

Share if you think Billionaires should pay their fair share.

We are not going back to modern Feudalism, where we have Oligarchs / Lords and Presidents / Kings and everyone else are Serfs / Peasants.

Grandson of the inventor of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups accuses Hershey of cutting corners The grandson of the inventor of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups has lashed out at The Hershey Co., accusing the candy company of hurting the Reese's brand by shifting to cheaper ingredients in many product...

Reece's peanut butter cups didn't taste very good this Halloween, yes I ate some Halloween candy... now I know why they downgraded the ingredients to cheaper substitutes hoping that nobody noticed. That's why Hersey is so terrible and I always buy other brands...

That's about 30% of voters. That should knock this country’s collective IQ up ten or fifteen points. Where did I get my numbers? Just like Trump I pulled then out of that place the sun don't shine!
