  3. At the end of the day, everyone wants sex and a meal in their hands, "world hunger" is just the cover story, as the old saying goes, feed the one in your hand & the one in the bush will come and sit on your lap...ye bid da bido, you need a good libido for sex and a million for a single meal...

    Very fair and it's not just about Elon Musk's donation. Having transparent accounting for all charity programs should be the norm and the default; it shouldn't be a special condition that has to be requested.

    You should read the Book "Backstabbing For Beginners". You will be impressed with UN's management of the Oil-For-Food program.

    Any administration with life employment, good pay and benefits becomes entitled, like all union jobs in general. They must be held to higher ethical standards with greater consequences for failing to uphold these. That goes for police, fire, military, gov, etc .

    this is a political point, but isn’t it funny that republicans hate teachers unions but love police unions.

    And Dems hate police unions but love teachers union... goes both ways. And I will also admit that not all unions are created equal. My 10+ years working with them has turned me into an impassioned hater, but some labor (agriculture, meat processing and other low pay hard work labor) ought to have union protection.
