I just thought maybe we needed this around here. I sure did. I've celebrated Hanukkah (and Christmas) my whole life, but I'd never heard of nor heard this one before today. I think you'll agree, it's timely.
Remember the 14,000 employees that GM is laying off, and how it caused Trump to make empty threats?
