And the artificial scents are abominable... AND they are actually unhealthy.
And then, there's the 15-20% of the population who has to SUFFER through each day with such aromas, everywhere:

Everything is political. Particularly when an Orange Criminal Clown Car regime is in charge. The reputational damage to the U.S. gov't is not a thing that can be repaired, particularly after 4 years. The rest of the world can see that U.S. voters TW…

I'll nibble through this lengthy video. I/we have already observed this 'thing' in action, too much. We've watched a few of his niece, Mary's video discussions. There's a Monster on the loose............

Last few days, before Christmas, I bought a big handful of shares in ET, Energy Transfer. Giving up on the Lake Charles LNG export facility seems like a backhanded blessing. Still too much debt, but they're concentrating again on pipes and transport…

Your WHAT is bigger than my WHAT, Donny? Jayzuz H. Christ. Every day he wakes up, his agenda starts with proving himself to be the best and brightest and biggest and most famous. Malignant Narcissist. Exhibit A. Grown up child in a 4X-L suit.
