Unlike the victims of 9/11, who received plenty of relief aid compensation from the government and charitable institutions, those who suffered hate crimes were given very little. As tax-paying citizens of the country, they too deserved similar compensation.

There is no earthly reason why Walmart and McDonald’s and Walgreens and these other giant, profitable institutions should have one worker in need of public assistance. It’s ridiculous.
I think institutions that are bureaucratic often try to squeeze from the top down, and they don’t have good results on the ground level.
The push to defund public schools and reroute taxpayer money to charters and private institutions is actually a very clever strategy by the Right Wing, which has always had a great deal of disdain for a system that forces them to pay taxes toward some other kid’s non-religious, science-based education.

Before I was elected to represent southwestern Texas in the U.S. Congress, I spent almost a decade as an undercover officer in the CIA. I served in places where Russia has geopolitical interests, and learned that Russia has one simple goal: to erode trust in democratic institutions.
In the Great Depression, employment and investment were low because labor market institutions and industrial polices changed.
Nature is not simply a technical or economical resource, and human beings are not mere numbers.

The issue with international institutions is that there is a crisis of legitimacy. Trust in these institutions is a serious problem.
