So, it’s OK to hand out welfare to farmers because Trump screwed up his tariff plan. But it’s not good to give welfare to the poor, the sick, the veterans, and the mentally ill because they don’t really need help, they are just lazy.
To all you uniformed union haters: Too bad your early relatives living in the 1920s and ’30s aren’t alive to explain what it was like prior to the labor movement and how brutal the men who ‘built America’ were. Let’s go back to those years! Watch the documentary ‘Plutocracy 4’ if you know the meaning of plutocracy is.
The handicapped parking at just about every establishment is usually empty, so why not let mothers with infants use these spots? They have to put their children in a baby carrier and cart to walk through the parking lots.
Facebook stock just plunged 20 percent in one day. Mark Zuckerberg lost $16 billion. It has been plagued by fake news, which saturates social media. Look that way for your fake news, Mr. President, not at the products of professional journalism and the free press, which guarantee our democracy.

Lost potential.
Trump said his tariffs saved 250 steel jobs in Illinois. Meanwhile, GM said it will lose 3,000 auto jobs in Ohio. That’s the math of a seven time bankrupt businessman. Another day of making America great again.
I can agree with people who say, “We are a nation of immigrants.” But I do not agree with the quote, “We are ALL immigrants.” I am not now, nor have I ever been classified as an immigrant. I was born in the United States, as were my parents. My grandparents were legal immigrants from Lithuania.
Maybe Mexico’s new leftist/populist president-elect Mr. López Obrador will finally attempt to fix Mexico’s huge socioeconomic inequality and share the wealth with those poor Mexican people/workers so that they don’t have to flee Mexico to the USA!
