I also heard that Christopher Columbus tried to secure funding for his expedition, aiming to reach India without sailing around Africa, from the Portuguese Crown before approaching the Spanish one, but he did not obtain the funding.

Some take this as possible evidence that the Portuguese were already aware of a potential territory to the West that would block or complicate the voyage to India via that route.

Bold of you to assume that Trump and Company won't put the average American to work for almost nothing. The planned economic recession is to convince the people to do so.

The new generation of American children will not spend most of their time studying in school, but rather working in factories for a handful of peanuts. That's Trump's America.
