Imma do it.

Reach on down, between my legs...
And pull myself up by the bootstrap.

Once deemed impossible, I say Nay 😎

Did you know that gold and silver are the only money recognized by the Constitution? The Federal Reserve and fiat currency took America away from constitutional money. It is time to end the Fed and restore sound money.

Incorporating Linux Mint over Windows.
Really enjoying the process.

What OS do you enjoy?

I've dinged them as "Automated Assistants" and even then that is a stretch.

"artificial intelligence" is the worst descriptor

I firmly believe that "networking" shallows the process of relationships, thus reducing the need for friendships.

I would disagree, arguing that perspective in quantity, with quality, generates better consensus than opinions from those who lack the connection.

Friends > Network

@VBierschwale We are in the history that shall be written.
What will the pen stroke in that time?

Call me earnest but I see a United America.
Takes a lot of wounded prides & egos, but we can do it.
Our truths outweigh their rhetorics infinite.
Therefore, we need to believe too!

[David Sargent @mrdavidsargent]

So finally, I ask to you:

Do you care?
One change makes a difference.

For I believe, that "if every person in the World had a good idea to benefit the World, what World would that be?"

Explore everything. We are the stewards of our destiny.
Take these seeds, and grow now.

I do my best to avoid politics, it can be nuanced, one-sided, and heavily emotional at times. But as I sift, I find consistencies:

Hurt Americans wanting change.
Fair politics, and capped campaign finances.
Reduced/No foreign influence in politics.

[David Sargent @mrdavidsargent]

I see these sentiments but get to head scratching.

"Why complain if you do nothing about it?"

I heard a saying that resonates:
"They do it because they do not know,
or that they do,
And just don't care."

@The_JBS Migration without assimilation is just cultural invasion!

@VBierschwale Great start! Looking simple on Front end and works for what is intended!

Excited to see how you shape this up!
Tables for the data? Pooling the business types?

Bookmarking the site now!

My countrymen:
Let's put our money where our mouth is, and support fellow Americans.

Can't wait to see frontend and inspect the data!

[Virgil Bierschwale @VBierschwale]

Folks, it is up to you if you want to promote Doing Business with Locally Owned American Companies.

All Texas data has been loaded (about a million records) and we looked at many other states, but the data is either not available or in a format that doesn't provide the information we need.

So don't worry about adding all the businesses in your zip code.

Just add the ones that you know are good for Americans in America and ignore the rest.

Slowly the database will be built.

We also added a map at the detail level (zip code level)

As an example, if you go to the zip code 76849, you will see a sample.

Gradually this will fill out and show the businesses you folks want to promote in your zip code.

I may geocode all of the zip codes for Texas sometime in the future, but I'm not sure yet when.

Its up to you guys and gals.

Find a way to spread the word nationwide and if people adapt it, it will come together nicely and I might add additional items to each address after I have time to think about it.

This project did not even exist yesterday, so it will take time.

But if nobody uses it, then its probably not worth pursuing anyway.

I think it is myself because we need to start putting americans in america ahead of those who have been depriving us of jobs and causing us to lose everything.

@mchmr96 @VBierschwale A new car? In this economy? Best I can do for ya is a pedal bike.

When my company says "Domestic" it means Americans first.
Then the land it works from.

If I am operating anywhere, I prioritize local first to spur local economies.

More money to families, is more to spend and keep.

[David Sargent @mrdavidsargent]

@VBierschwale Look forward to seeing your work! Best of luck Virgil! Always rooting for you!
