Hey Washington – remember economics?

Nearly the entirety of what is coming out of Washington lately are ideas and legislation to get our economy “back on track”. Now I could go into a loooonnnnngggg dissertation as to what we could have/should have done differently, but that is pointless.

The Danger of Social Media Censorship

Contributed by Michael A. Youngs In the months leading up to the 2020 Election, social media giants – think Facebook, Twitter, YouTube – started to let their political bias show. Posts were fact checked, warnings added or removed. Users were hit with account suspensions or revocations. All in the name of truth. Throughout history, oneContinue reading “The Danger of Social Media Censorship”
