It’s sad, but I can feel a big difference. Unfortunately, it’s getting back to the low teens for the weekend.

I wasn’t sure what to write about today, so I’m going with a mix...

Today’s article was originally going to be an economic review of Trump’s first year. In light of what’s going on in Minneapolis, it doesn’t feel right to analyze his handling of the economy.
