That is insanity. You really are a deluded bunch, to say the least...

All I know is what they tell me, they know that and act accordingly.
Trump is deregulating everything he can, he brags about it, to some extent I think it's good that huge rich corporations are in the USA, but only when they're on the leash, not unleashed.
