What kind of couple sits down and says β€œI know - let’s exchange vows of fidelity at the single biggest, gaudiest, most hypocritical example of Infidelity, Mara Lago”?

Scandalous that he had ANY respect in the first place. BUT - finally, the wall MAY be showing some cracks.

Some small businesses are swearing off tariff price hikes. It's costing them. Most expect to charge customers more, but many are making cutbacks and other changes to hold prices steady for as long as they can.

As someone self-employed since 1996, I ask, Today, why would ANYONE open their own small business? The deck is so incredibly stacked against you.
