It kind of grates on you, doesn't it?

The great grating is yet to come.


Wait for it.

Not sure what that means. But if it means that Trump will be in office through at least Jan. 20, 2021, then, yes, it will continue to grate you.

I guess you will have to just grin and bear it like us Republicans had to during the Obama era.

Nope, sorry, wrong answer.


Production workers are classification 51-9199, and there are only 256,050 production workers, which is a mere 0.16% of the total number of workers.

No but the government should pay for the services it provides and NOT put it on a credit card in the late stage of a business expansion.
