A trillionair, yet his name does not appear on a single school, university, library, museum wing, hospital, stadium, arena, airport, or endowed chairs. What a colossal waste of a human lifetime.
Honestly, i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.
daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.

everything we need is astronomically expensive and yet almost none of the money we pay is going towards the people actually doing the work and providing the services.

En Italia en los años 1940 decían:
“Hay tres cosas incompatibles entre sí: inteligencia, honradez y fascismo. Quien es inteligente y fascista, no es honrado.
Quien es honrado y fascista, no es inteligente.
Y quien es inteligente y honrado, no es fascista".
For those of you who say voting Independent & Greens is a wasted vote, spend some time watching these guys in Senate Estimates saving our democracy & holding Ministers & public servants to account. Two of our hardest working, most effective Senators ever.
