Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter, and the left goes completely insane.

With Biden's support collapsing, the White House doubles down on equity, and the media

jump all over a white cop black offender shooting, but ignore the fact.

One thing you might have noticed, a lot of corporations, not your friends, not only because they don't like your priorities, but also because they're charging you just too much money these days.
