Progressive policies continue to destroy businesses in our urban centers. As district attorneys release violent criminals back onto the streets, they are turning our cities into cesspools of crime. This is causing major businesses to evaluate their business prospects within such locales.
McDonald’s is temporarily shutting its US offices this week as it prepares for corporate layoffs. McDonald’s corporate employees were asked to work from home Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as it makes announcements related to staffing and company restructuring.

If SVB failed because of their investment in US government bonds, how many other banks are at risk? Just how much in unrealized losses are there in the books of banks that made similar investments? Is this situation a direct outgrowth of the Dodd-Frank Act?
The current blame game going on about the SVB collapse is a diversion. The media has jumped on board to provide a smokescreen so that the public will not see then obvious culprits here. We are hearing about Trump, greed by the companies involved, bad law, lax regulators, etc. None of this comes close to hitting the target. Biden and his handlers are to blame.
Silicon Valley Bank was closed by bank regulators on Friday. In an unusual move the closure took place during the business day and not after the markets had closed.

The tone-deaf, and hateful Joy Behar blames the people in East Palestine for the disaster that has befallen them because they voted for Trump. The 2020 election saw 70% of the voters in that county voting for PDJT.
Joy Behar says the residents of East Palestine got what they deserved because they voted for Trump:

There is no understanding here other than it must be Trump’s fault. That is what this show is all about. None of these people have even deigned to look at the NTSB report.
Two major supermarket chains in the UK (Asda & Morrisons) have announced rationing of certain food items. Perishables like tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, cauliflower, peppers and broccoli have been restricted to just two or three per customer in a host of stores. This is a direct result of the economic policies imposed on western countries by the “Build Back Better” crowd in Davos, Switzerland.
One of the latest talking points from our overlords are those pushing everyone to digital money. Such money would be convenient, easy to use, etc. Dr. Tom Woods has done a short piece on this and its dangers.
