I really don't have much to say about your first two points.

On your third point I have two comments.

Feeding people is a no-brainer. No matter who they are where they are how they got to where they are or whatever. The USAID thing is so sad because while no one starves in America we pay our own farmers for food to distribute to those around the world who do. That's just a win-win for everyone.

One of the things I'm trying to convey to you guys on this board is that this administration is not going to help the working class. It's corporate, it's billionaires, it's shareholders, is where the help is going to go. Even the treasury secretary who is just confirmed said he didn't want to raise the Federal minimum wage and instead wants to punt to the States. He said it out loud In a Senate confirmation hearing.
