Damn. RFK Jr is mentally ill with Delusional Disorder, and he is wrecking the U.S. healthcare system
Trump just hung a giant portrait of himself over the Department of Labor building, claiming he puts "American Workers First." Take it from a former Secretary of Labor: Donald Trump doesn't give a shit about working people. https://youtu.be/ARL5VvYJUe8?feature=shared
You are disgusting. Creating a child shield to support your views. Well done, Epstein files have just begun.
As an economist, we can dismantle this beast. Shut down DC. Shutter it You know what I mean.. . PULL OUT.. Chicago is ready

Senator, you are foolish to not direct your efforts to the Epstein files. Repeat, Epstein files. Repeat Epstein Files. We all know ... Even Woodward... hey the files.
In 1968, 43 African American soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas refused deployment for riot control at DNC in Chicago. āWe shouldnāt have to go out there and do wrong to our own people." When will our state's National Guard do the same? #RESIST through #PeacefulProtest #NONViolenceIsPower #StopICE
A free, democratic and independent Ukraine. That's what you are fighting for. That's what our efforts are all about. We are with you, for as long as it takes. Because a free Ukraine is a free Europe. Happy Independence Day, Ukraine!
DC is currently under martial law. That is your response. Future legislation. Retire now. Pathetic.
As an economist, even with AI, I have not been able to derive an algorithm that can project an economy based on narcissism and retribution. Honestly, most are betting, health issues, will derail this political money and power grab.
Newsom ain't playing!
As an economist, ICE in the cities are crippling retail commerce. Cripple the work force in Agriculture and hospitality through illegal detainments. Businesses slashing workforces due to tariffs. Rural hospitals being closed due to medicaid cuts. If you are not an economist, it's not hard to see

I was was designated to reconcile GE Capitals 44 billion revenue, to its tax liability. I was 24, and worked with a KPMG in-house partner. End result, 0 taxes for that year. GE Capital should give you a time frame. I paid more taxes than GE 140 billion total revenue for that year.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

FAKE NEWS! UNEMPLOYMENT IS THE LOWEST EVER IN THE HISTORY OF BEFORE THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED!!
The number of Americans receiving unemployment benefits for at least a week rose to the highest level since late 2021, according to Labor Department data.
As an economist, exactly.
What happens if you donāt do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority? ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles /

Three and a half year waiting game. The restructure of Apples supply chain to make this feasible would. take a decade. Apple made this play in Trumps first term. Yeah, the check for the new factory is in the mail.
Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes. Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items. If youāve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.
Thank you for your work! Devil is in the details, which always surface. Time will be the judge.
