Like that huge Trump casino that went bankrupt? And wasnt it demolished? I guess we'll never know just how valuable it could have been. Sad.

Not sure if Dinesh DSouza counts. If he wasnt allowed to speak then I wouldn't be able to talk over and over about how I trounced him in a public post-lecture discussion we had. I think they should let people speak. I do have limits tho. I'm not a free speech absolutist.

Is this the same Salem where Christians went witch mad so long ago?

To some extent its a cult membership purchase, and so partly immune to concerns about business fundamentals. I do think it has to come down to earth sooner or later, unless theres some great future for "Truth Social" that Im not seeing.

I'm struggling with this question because it requires an intersection between two rare conditions: 1. improving 2. agreeing

Maybe certain alphabets are impossible to mistake and our masters at google have recently decided to grace us with this convenience?
