Why will they take until 2050? To make more profits and thereby cause more health problems.
I think I’ll go buy a new pair of shoes this week. And they’ll be Nikes. That’s because Nike has launched a new ad campaign that employs Colin Kaepernick, a quality pro quarterback that the NFL refuses to employ because it doesn’t like his political views.
The people of Wisconsin should be confident about the financial health of the state. Under Republican leadership, the state budget is not only balanced but it’s also projected to, once again, have a surplus.
