While it’s maybe not “woke” enough for some sensibilities, OnionBusiness.com would like to wish every American a safe and happy Independence Day. We urge all to meditate on the words of our founders, particularly on their warnings about tyranny and subjugation. And we fervently hope the generations coming up learn and understand our rich history, the good and the bad, and understand that freedom comes at a cost.

Celebrate Independence Day! Shout ‘Freedom!’ from the rafters!
