Americans don't need a lecture on democracy from a South African.
The world's richest man is literally taking food out of the mouths of the world's poorest people.

This is who we are now. USA! USA! USA!

--Spinshield
The world’s richest man is boasting about destroying the United States Agency for International Development, which saves the lives of the world’s poorest children, saying he shoved it “into the wood chipper.”

By my calculations, Elon Musk probably has a net worth greater than that of the poorest billion people on Earth. Just since Donald Trump’s election, Musk’s personal net worth has grown by far more than the entire annual budget of U.S.A.I.D., which in any case accounts for less than 1 percent of the federal budget.
