Google controls what the vast majority of the world finds on the internet. Being put at the top of the Google results for search is not only immensely lucrative, it is also almost mind-bogglingly powerful in global affairs.

Might I also suggest searching out as many American made products as possible to purchase. I’ve been doing so for quite a long time but have been trying even harder lately. There are many out there if you search.
