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?

Trump's Immigration Scare Tactics are a Huge Waste of Money Retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling joins Ben Parker to discuss his latest piece in The Bulwark detailing the incredible expensive and wasteful spending on military jets for Donald Trump’s deportations, and how Trump’s extreme and unrealistic plan to send migrants to Guantanamo Bay would be both immensely expensive and enormously inhumane.

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.

Central Valley farmworkers scared to show up to work over deportation fear The California Farm Bureau says fears in the Central Valley have led to migrant farmworkers not showing up for work, which has virtually halted the area’s citrus harvest.

Eggs is one thing. Not a huge fan, tbh. But I will really miss lemons.
