this is a nation whos primary focus is making money for the Owner Class. 'The business of America, is BUSINESS.' As long as this is the case, the proper functioning of this nation is dependant not on our votes, but on our willingness to show up to work on time and as scheduled.

if we outright refuse, it would take about ten days to tank the Dow Jones, and in very short order, Mitch would remove trump from the WH by himself if he thought it would fix the problem.

The ONLY THING that is INTOLERABLE to the powers that be is our refusal to go to work.
