Trump Watch:
Well holy shit…everything seems to be going bad for Trump all at once. Frankly I am surprised it took this long for the entire house of cards to crumble.
You got your Russian shit show, Your budget shit show, your Trumpcare shit show, your false claims of wiretapping shit show. The FBI director is testifying that he was under investigation, poor poll numbers, there are Russian gambling rings at Trump tower, family corruption, at this point the list of things to impeach him on is about a mile and a half long, small font, double sided pages.

Do you ever wonder why you don’t just file your taxes on a government website for free? Filing Taxes Could Be Free and Simple. But H&R Block and Intuit Are Still Lobbying Against It. Tell your congress people that this is foolish, and wastes millions of tax payers money every year.

Kentucky just passed a law discriminating against LGBT people, and allowing religious texts in school. Time to boycott Kentucky products just like we did with North Carolina when they passed their anti-Trans laws.

Within 20 Years Automation May Take the Place of About $5.1 Trillion/year in Labor With More Than 98% of Savings Going to Those Who Are Already Multi-Millionaires if we don’t build a system that works for everyone now, the inequality will be overwhelming in the future.
