    I’m sure glad that tariffs are a tax paid on the selling company and not the consumer. /s

      not all of us here are allowed to vote legally and for those that can the vote is not entirely their own due to the fact the system has been rigged through lower education standards, poverty, etcetera

      when a few resource holders take what they own and use it to manipulate the narrative through owning the local newspapers weakening grassroots movements along with public knowledge, terrible nutrition because they own that too, the prisons that are either owned privately or everything in it is or both, and pretty much everything is corporately controlled including our agency

      hell even the schools have got the rot now just like prisons are ran except Jostens is the company name there but all the same owners/resource owners when get to the tippity top

      nobody’s vote in the United States is their own because some resource hoggers are bending the story to stack up in their favor just like with the media they own so even our fads and culture etcetera are not our own anymore with any media that goes against the narrative being disappeared

      so how can a mind have any chance of growth? cannot and that is point of this controlled story warm bodies kept at bare minimum of existence with no chance of growth just stagnation warm meat for the grinder that has to run or else the few on top will cease to have everything

      South certainly did win and all these years later the owners are still on top in this country controlling everything
