If you're reading this right now, I just want to say; I'm rooting for you. We’re strangers, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care. I know what it’s like to feel like you're pushing a boulder uphill. I felt that way until I picked up Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers I can’t explain it perfectly, but it changed my whole perspective. After checking it out on youtube and reading it things have been flowing—money, peace, confidence. Maybe this is your moment too. Stay open. Wishing you more than you ever imagined. 💫💰
My son is 20 and all he's ever known of American government has been madness.
So now we are dealing with Kaiser Don, what else is new...
I love meet the press now! Now I get Sunday morning everyday! ❤
This sounds like “A Game Of throwns”. Don’t get used to people…they won’t be around long.
Hey, we’ve been hearing layoffs months ago….
Our local broadcast was distorted and commercials were dropped in during interviews
Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden, and thank you for the great program Meet the Press! It and other sources keep me updated about the development in the USA. Tack så mycket!
low participation makes the presumption of low unemployment a risky proposition.
What is all the sirens and bullhorn noise outside the Meet the Press studio? Why are they ignoring the commotion to calmly discuss economics?
