Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People call say 'beware doll, you're bound to fall'
You thought they were all kidding you

Everybody that was hanging out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

Trump executive order prompts Google to recall staff

Mexico can and should invite American Workers to move to Mexico

Sure, the wages are lower, but so are the costs.

And if they can retain their US citizenships, which they can, that would be a Yuuge fuck you to the Trumpster.

Win-win all around.
