I signed up years ago with Amazon & Kindle for the books. But their greed is unhealthy. They want zero competition. I've unspooled myself from Amazon. No purchases, no Prime. Nada. Consider finding books from an independent bookstore, or risk finding yourself with no choice but Amazon. #Booksky

As we watch the inevitable consequences of Trump and MAGA’s insane policies on the economy and his voters, it is worth recalling that German and Japanese citizenry remained fully committed to their leaders WW II war efforts to the very end. We should expect the same from MAGA voters.
