I mention podcast as that is how the rest of the US citizens get quite a bit of the information we are responsible or knowing today. How long is this going to take when legislation could be going on?

Yes I read everything that was in the news like everyone else did yesterday and this is my take on this situation. I keep saying these folks on Congress need some “brains” or what I call Algo Men to help them before taking an immediate stance and coming out in public with items as such which is...
