JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Starbucks closed their super famous tourist destination Reserve Roastery in Seattle in September with no notice to retaliate against unionized workers. Don’t cross the line! (Plus we never stopped boycotting for Gaza RIGHT? 😇🧐)
Starbucks closed one of the busiest locations in the middle of my campus because it was a unionized spot, the corporation is cutting its head off to spite its tail. Solidarity, don't cross the line!
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.
Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.
Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Epstein, like Musk, was obsessed with his own genes being spread far and wide. If you get the idea you, personally, are superior and therefore you can't be denied access to any woman or child, you see the overlap between eugenics, rape culture, and power.
