Last week there were two seemingly unrelated events that weren't so unrelated. One was the Trumpster's grant to himself of emergency powers to build an unnecessary wall because of a non-existence crisis. The other was the drama of Amazon's broken engagement with it's New York City lover. So, what could these two things possibly have … Continue reading Amazon and the Wall →
