Opinion | The World’s Richest Men Take On the World’s Poorest Children
I’ve seen U.S.A.I.D. operate around the world, and it’s not woke — it’s lifesaving.

There IS a left-wing agenda, and it’s to prioritize compassion over greed. Kindness isn't a limited resource.

Yes. What Musk is doing will destroy whole families, whole towns, and cause a recession. If Trump does what he promised with respect to tariffs, the combined effect could result in a Second Great Depression.

And Musk is doing this to protect his companies and punish enemies.

No one voted for this.
They can literally wipe out the economy in some smaller towns by doing that.

Hopefully the people who run this platform fully understand the many reasons why a mass exodus of people has fled toxic X, and will do their best to ensure this place never becomes anything like that.
