Trump puts his brand name on everything even if it's not his idea. Time for Americans to reject That name! The rest of the World needs to follow suit as well! One Hitler is enough in the History books!

They have lost most of my business here in Canada. I look for alternatives and shop Buy local where possible. Everyone should be doing that regardless of country. Less hitting the CEOs pockets and the more money circulating in your own community the better.

Trump has definitely made America great again for Trump, the problem is everyone in the free world including Americans are paying for this waste of Orange skin. No respect for Republicans or Maple maga here in Canada.

Interesting experiment. Princess auto clearance Bluetooth FM transmitter hooking Mac Mini to Sony receiver. Good quality sound. Probably not as good as a Bluetooth receiver into the amp directly. It's older so it doesn't have any wireless options other than radio and a clean 100x2 watt output

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?
