The older I grow, the crazier everyone else gets.
Next up. New York Times headline — “Poor landlords suffering unexpectedly high vacancy rates due to Trump”
That’s right...For the most part once the greedy get a taste bloated inflated rent money, they ain’t going back.
Demand proof for obvious results 😂😂
Next thing Abby will need proof for breathing is required to stay alive.
I would guess the ER dept’s are less then half as busy.
Deloitte has major welfare control as prime IES contractor in 25 states, CA, TX, FL, GA, IL, PA, NY, etc...mostly the big states, not MN. Deloitte gave 12 times more to Kamala than Trump and much more to Dems in congress than Republicans.
