At times, it can feel like the country is only concerned about all things red and blue, but if you’re a business owner, you’re typically only worried about another color: green (despite what Whoopi Goldberg says).

I am so grateful to those of you that have supported me in this. They are showing their true colors and lack of decency and humanity.” […]
