That is part of the plan, if things get bad enough maybe they will take the jobs left by deported immigrants.

Charley Kirk was a shit-stirrer, but his murder will be as impactful as the assassination of Prince Franz Ferdinand.

Sales at my company is running around 20% of previous years standard. Of course, this is anecdotal, and it is biotech.
But, it certainly feels like winter is coming.
