        The U.S. Census Bureau said July 9 that it received 531,423 business applications in June on a seasonally adjusted basis, capping what was for the first half of the year the highest sustained rate of such applications in the 22-year history of the series.

              I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it's almost like the GOP is secretly promoting the Democratic Socialists of America, which is producing a lot of the energy and excitement in the Democratic and Republican parties.
