You can just feel something in the air, somethings not quite right. Somethings coming. You usually won’t know until it happens because they keep it quiet and scheme against the American worker. They’re allowed to do this by our government because our “elected officials “ actually work for corporations and lobbyists. Same reason American workers pay income tax and corporations get tax refunds. The corporations got to where they are off the sweat, blood, tears, & suffering of the American worker. It will only get worse until real Americans like AOC are filling every elected seat. From the President down to the mayor of the smallest town in America. Including judges, DA’s, police chiefs, etc.... All across the board.
