Pharmaceutical companies used to donate medicines for neglected tropical diseases, and the US spent $114m to distribute them
The US funding ended, so the donated medicines for these horrific diseases are sitting in warehouses

The fight to beat neglected tropical diseases was going well. 2025 could change that
The campaign to prevent and treat these diseases has seen great success thanks to a USAID program. Now that program is gone.

I'd like to remind the Canadians upset that Canada Post is losing money that this also applies.
It's a SERVICE that many people rely on.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Tim Hortons wants more TFWs. Many people cannot find work which pays a living wage. Solution: hire Canadians, pay them well, raise prices or take less profit.

(By the way, in the last chart here, the cash held by the richest Americans is so vast it's 10 times the height of the chart and can't be shown. Never forget, it's not democratic socialists who hate us but billionaires.)

This is criminal. It is another war as Americans starve.

So without government programs subsidizing McDonald's employees, everyone would have to pay more for a burger and fries?
Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.
