These are the types of letters Hank Aaron used to receive along with death threats, as he closed in on Babe Ruth’s home run record. How he was able to still focus & play is amazing to me. Remembering Hank Aaron on his birthday (February 5, 1934 – January 22, 2021)💙🕊

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

In case you were wondering why Chinese tariffs are 15% less than for Canada and Mexico, follow the money. Elon Musk currently has a 4,500,000 sq. ft. car manufacturing plant in China. Tesla does not currently have car plants in Canada or Mexico. One is planned for Mexico. In time for a tariff lift.
