What too many people don't realize about SNAP and ACA govt money, is that it acts the way farm subsidies do.
It brings money into local infrastructures of food distribution (grocery stores) & medical care (drs, clinics, hosp'ls, etc). These businesses need that income to run and keep prices down.

I love seeing more people everyday who are like screw that stupid money gimmick. We don’t need unnecessary expensive shit. We need to get by. We don’t need Oprah’s choices for crappy Xmas gifts. We need food, clean water, and healthcare and housing. The capitalism scam is getting so boring.

L'Oréal is mainly owned by the Bettencourt Meyers family and Nestlé.
Nestlé's largest shareholder is BlackRock.
Nvidia and BlackRock were part of a recent deal in October to purchase some data centers for $40 billion.

The Epstein files couldn't be release when Biden was president because there was an ongoing investigation. He's hoping to "reseal" all the documents with another investigation.

MAGAS LISTEN UP 🚨⚠️
The Epstein thing is your chance to jump off the Trump train. You've been thinking about leaving. DO IT NOW. It's a brief window. Just say "this is too much for me" and walk away. Listen to your gut feelings. You'll get more respect for that than by clinging to the pervert king.

Perhaps Trump will turn out to just be another autocratic cliché.
Much like Hitler, a frustrated unsuccessful painter, Trump will turn out to have been but a frustrated interior designer. Their dreams broken, they turn to an autocrat's project in revenge porn. West-Civ pays the price once again.

They told us to make phone calls, attend meetings with our representatives, and to take to the streets. So we did. Then we went without education, social services and food. We fight Nazis in the street. And we were just starting to learn mutual aid so we could hold out longer. What did they do?

He's putting this out there because he wants to force us to put his name onto buildings and institutions, and then wants to be able to charge royalties for the use of his "brand."
Barack Obama is not making royalties on the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare. The ACA is a federal law, and former presidents or government officials do not receive royalties or any form of direct payment from legislation they sign into law.
