America for Sale? Our nation's values are being traded for profit. Companies sacrifice social good for deals, national symbols become foreign gifts. It's time to build an America on social capital.

Remember "Obamafare" β the $100K ticket price (bribe) to fly on the luxury jumbo jet gifted to Obama by the penguins from Heard Island and McDonald Islands? After which Obama signed EOs improving fish flavor by cutting pollution in the Antarctic Ocean?
Armani's C-suite purchased more tickets than other luxury brands, ultimately leading to the Tan Suit Press Conference marketing bonanza. Company execs still brag about the accomplishment and the expense in code, saying they "flew through Chicago's O'Fare Airport"

President Donald Trump is ready to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet as a gift from the ruling family of Qatar during his trip to the Middle East this coming week, and U.S. officials say it could be converted into a potential presidential aircraft. The Qatari government denied that a final decision had been made. Still, Trump defended the idea as a fiscally smart move for the country, while Democrats and others said it raised serious ethics concerns. ABC News reported that Trump will use the aircraft as his presidential plane until shortly before he leaves office in January 2029, when ownership will be transferred to the foundation overseeing his presidential library.
Ha!β¦ I just wrote in a different reply:
A system of competition in which the goods go to the person(s) able and willing to spend the most is called an auction, not an election
This is disappointing and discouraging, including the amount of money involved. When you have a contest in which the goods go to the person(s) able and willing to spend the most: thatβs called an auction, not an election.
