I know its small, but i sew and it takes a lot more time and work to handsew something than to machine sew, which is why i don't handsew.

    No Black Americans do not need to look up to her. and its weird and giving xenophobic that you would even say that. There are many Black American business owners in the United States. Because of Black Americans Africans and others are able to come to the United States and do things like this. Have some fcking respect.

    This is an amazing story. So sad that this economy has made things pretty much difficult for small businesses and even investors in the markets. Inflation is a disaster, the CPI report is a disaster. The FED is going to have to pull all their punches to stop the housing market. I'm just gonna stick with diversification using the copytrading system. I'm up $80k for this quarter so I'm doing just fine.
