I am just wondering why Bill Gates or Mark Cuban don't help with the USAID goods that are ready to be transported. Could they step in and expedite delivery even if they have to pay for it themselves?

Bezos, Musk and Zuckerberg. Evil oligarchs.
These three oligarchs are destroying lives, freedom and democracy around the world. They are the evil villains from every dystopian sci-fi movie you have ever seen come to life. Boycott them and urge everyone you know to do the same.

This is what we mean when we talk about corporate greed: Starbucks gave its CEO $96 million for just 4 months of work. Meanwhile, Starbucks is refusing to offer a raise of more than 50 cents an hour to 12,000 union workers.
That's unacceptable. Starbucks must end their greed.
