    Not in Bill's case nor in Warren Buffet's cases. They have pledged to give all their holdings to charity on their deaths and, of course, the deaths of their spouses.

    Impact of a single homeless camp: $18,347 in clean-up, one thousand complaints and endless conflict.



    In 1978 I used to live in a house right where this homeless camp is on 58th and Powell. Right across the street from the gas station there.

    It is hard to believe this is what Portland, as well as America, is becoming.

    Joe is a corporatist. He's been one his whole time in elected office.

    To solve the homelessness problem it takes about 30 Billion per year. We have the money, but we'd rather spend on war.

    How Finland Ended Homelessness.



    This looks like a good program. But, as corrupt and cruel as our U.S. congress is, I don't ever expect this to come to America.

    Labor Day for Undocumented Immigrants.



    Labor Day is a joke. America stopped caring about it's working class decades ago.

    Great post. Bu..bu..but... THAT'S SOCIALISM....

    Say the stupid MFs that don't understand that corporations privatize their gains while socializing ALL of their losses.

    Get REFUNDS while never paying ANY taxes and make the middle class fund everything.

    The company I worked for when the pandemic hit, after taking a $250K PPP Loan (that they lawyered a way NOT to pay back), proceeded to lay off 47 employees.
    They were supposed to use that money to pay employees. Had they done that they would've had to pay it back.
    No, they just created a whole new business with it. Literally started a gutter installing business WITH ALL OF OUR MONEY...
    They'll do this while simultaneously calling themselves "capitalists".

    It's EVIL AF...

    DoorDash’s Latest Move Is Another Healthy Reminder That It Is, In Fact, a Giant Parasite.

    The delivery app is suing NYC over a law that would give restaurants access to customer data — showing once again that it cares about the wellbeing of restaurants about as much as any bloodsucker cares about its host.

    Will Corrupt Dems Sink Biden Bill For Big Pharma?



    These sick fucks need to be removed from office. 90% support for this bill and these heartless bastards might kill it for corporate interests. Sickening.
