According to the 2024 Annual Business Survey there were 36.4M business owners in the US but only 5.9M actually had employees (2023) but 30.5M had no employees. With over 300M people in the US does that mean 12% of the population will be pleased but 88% won't? And don't forget billionaires!
Kelly Loeffler: "I don't think small business owners have ever been so excited to pay their taxes thanks to President Trump."

So the MAGA crowd want to return to the 19th century when the Anaconda Copper Mining Company polluted Montana rivers (Butte, Anaconda, and Clark Fork) so horrendously that the Berkeley Pit is one of the largest SUPERFUND sites in the U.S. Follow the money to see who profits from this new scheme.

I remember kids in my class contracting the measles. They were kept in dark rooms in an attempt to keep them from going blind. Mumps also were prevalent during the same time. Everyone was worried about the mumps "going down" on the boys. Then the vaccines were discovered. Science for the win.

The US now has the Thiel-Vance foreign policy, the Steve Witkoff foreign policy, the Jared Kushner foreign policy, the Marco Rubio foreign policy, and once in a blue moon the Donald Trump foreign policy... and Putin and Netanyahu plus Saudi, UAE & Qatar drive most of it.
