I guess it depends which businesspeople you're talking about. It seems like these assholes make money regardless of which party runs the WH and Congress. To get elected you need $$$ and THAT'S OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM.

Four years ago, I tested for COVID. I'd had dinner with someone with cancer the night before. Thanks to the vaccine, I did not give that dinner companion COVID. And I only ran a low-grade fever for a few days. Fuck that idiot RFK Jr. and the equally stupid buffoon who hired him.

We're not disagreeing here... But I'd posit that racism, at least in today's world, wields just as big (or bigger) a cudgel than money does. The point is though-- regardless of which one is more prominent-- that TOGETHER, they are inseparable. And BY DESIGN what ultimately "governs" America.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
