🤷🏿♂️I'm OK with all of this? I mean, this is the world that "MAGA for the money" folks wanted: people with more money and more access get better treatment.
No one has more money than the Saudis, and no one has more access than Kushner. Leopards eating good! 🐆😋
And anyway, consumers still have choice.
