Looking forward to the American economy when the hardest working segment of the population becomes concentration camp residents and the silent majority starts cooking, cleaning, washing and producing their own shit.

It's peak season in WA State cherries. Workers are paid piece rate and earn $4.50 per 22lb bucket. (The same as they earned in 2022). If they work super fast they can harvest 50 to 60 buckets in a 9 hour day during this very short peak season.

Yuck 🤢 🤮 “In fact, New Yorkers should be worried that he would lead Gotham back to the bad old days of civic dysfunction, and Democrats should fear that he will discredit their next generation of party leaders, almost all of whom are better than this democratic socialist.”

You may ask, does the destruction of Iran also offer endless real estate opportunities? Or Is it just a convenient distraction from West's ongoing support of genocide in Palestine? Or both? Either way, your money is better off in military stocks.

Israel has killed over 250 Palestinian and Lebanese journalists and other media workers, plus dozens of media activists and 'citizen journalists'. Yet many Western journalists are happily drumming up support for Israel at this moment, preparing their countries to join the war on Israel's side.
