This is about consolidations and acquisitions under TFG administration. It was rampant. Really it was. Every person who touched TFG acquired struggling businesses or worked hard to acquire them as planned. This included transportation. 2/

This story got my GOP friend up in arms 2 days ago. We were in a car coming back from RENO after golf for 3 days. She owns, (like many people I guess) rental properties. Although none of her tenants are being evicted she’s pissed that he’s doing this: 1/
