It's amazing how many Americans are totally devoid of compassion and think if a human being can't work , they deserve to starve. Then they'll go to Christmas Eve service at church to celebrate the birth of a poor man who told them to feed the poor.
Black background, text reads: Hampton Institute@HamptonThhinkn. Everything from govnt assistance & side hustles to tip culture & gofundme has been created to avoid making capitalists pay workers a living wage. So, as we scramble to help one another cover basics despite working long hours, capitalists are idly approaching trillionaire status.

Black box with white text. "Simple Analogy of How Tariffs Work: Imagine a new toll booth is set up on a busy road that brings goods into a town. The toll makes it more expensive for transporters to bring in goods, so they raise their prices. Shops in the town then have to charge more for these goods to cover their costs. Some transporters might stop bringing goods altogether, leading to fewer choices for shoppers. Meanwhile, local sellers who don't pay the toll can raise their prices because there's less competition. This is similar to how tariffs work: they make imported goods more expensive, and often lead to higher prices for consumers"
