It's because Congress is MIA and SCOTUS is captured. I doubt the Founders imagined this scenario.

Good. The only way the US will survive is if good men and women step up to save it.

Who is for the workers and who is for the bosses? Not hard to see.

Capitalism works best when workers are respected and rewarded.

I mean, I get this is no bueno, but at the same time -- demographics, people!

The Boomers are retiring at record rates - 4.2 million in 2025.

This makes a difference.

What really worries me is it's all in the details. AI will correct the detail soon enough.

Can anyone give me a gender analysis of the Epstein Files to date? I mean, to me, it seems HEAVILY slanted toward the male of the species.

I REALLY want someone to ask Dani this when she sticks up for Albertans who want independence cuz they're fed up with Ottawa:

"Why do you continue to fan the flames of discontent with Ottawa? Isn't it the UCP who have laid the basis of this with your continual griping at the federal government?"
